Just take the PS belt off, start it up... see if it stops, then the same with the other belt.  If it stops then its either the Alternator, water pump or tenssioner.   Spin the pullys by hand and feel for groggly bearings and play in the shafts.   :smiley:

Engine cranes = the ultimate tool to test the tensile strength of Everything you didn't disconnect!
