My 1995 Explorer with a 4.0 V6 and 175K died while driving up a hill and all power was lost after hearing a clunk. Now the truck turns over but will not start. When the engine is turning over the serpentine belt does not turn with it. The belt is mounted correctly on all the pulleys but the Harmonic Balancer is not turning. I’m not sure about the crank shaft itself. I assume the engine is turning over since the noise doesn’t sound like a free spinning starter. I tried to listen and look into the oil fill neck while cranking the engine but could not perceive if the valves were moving due to a long filler neck. I've checked the engine for any codes that shed more light on the issue and there were two, OBD I codes 13 and 14. Both were retrieved with KOEO.
13 - Cannot control rpm during KOER Self-Test low rpm check.
14 - PIP Circuit failure.
I'm not sure what these codes point to considering the other symptoms? Hopefully someone has some ideas as to what could be the cause. I'm worried the engine has seen its last day?
What steps should I take next?
