here is a quote from a guyi might buy a 4cylinder from, i want to get a better idea of what could be wrong :
"Wife was driving and AC pump had no freeon, she adjusted the heater, to the AC position, and Switched the roll bar from high to low(thought she rolled it to off). AC Pump seized, Snapped Belt.
Yanked the AC Pump. Connected the Inlet to the pump and the Outlet from the pump together with a Copper Plumbing Male to Male coupling and some Teflon Tape. Took the Fusible linked wire and completed the circuit by connecting it to the battery. Went and got a smaller belt, tossed it on, Ran good for about a day or two.
Then Started acting as if its not getting any gas. Though it has plenty of Gas. You can smell the excess strong. Changed the Fuel Filter, and Pump anyways.
There is a ticking under the dash... It comes from a relay under the dash, and its not a low ticking, and has never ticked before, but this is a LOUD tick.It only ticks when you turn the key on(Same time as the fuel pump kicks in)
I can get it to fire up, one of several ways.
First, Pull the plug on the ECU for a minute with the key on, and disconnect the battery and it will fire and idle normal, one time and one time only. If I do anything, turn on the headlights, hit the brakes, or even put the clutch in and go to shift gears, it instantanously die.
Secondly, Fire it, holding the off button for the rear defroster, But as soon as I let go of it, the 4x4 lightup for the gear shift lights up,as well as the instrument panel and it dies... Or assuming I hold the rear defroster button in the off position, and do any one of the following; hit the brake, turn on the headlights, attempt to shift, or anything of the sort will kill it immediately as well.
Or yank the fuse(kills the ticking but not the issues) for the Rear Defogger, and as I have the fuse box down, play with the wires and I can get the rear defogger switch to act normal. I don't get the ticking, and I don't have any problems, I can turn on/off the rear defogger, and I have no excessive gas, Can drive to the store, etc, then play hell getting it home...
My Fuel Guage is also going HayWire. And Like I said I can smell it releasing a major excess of fuel. When I turn the key to the on position, the ticking kicks in,and the fuel gauges goes all way to the lower right hand corner(nearly a full tank past full)
I can also remove the gauges fuse, and they still power...."
so i might think that there could be some random electrical problem that could have occurred due to the belt snapping? i didnt think one could just put a new, shorter, belt on, but had to put a pulley on?
this being said, my a/c doesnt work in my jeep as well, and could my a/c bearing freezing up and cause this problem as well if i dont replace it soon?
