Default Guys help me out

Ok, I had a terrible screeching noise with smoke coming from the alternator side of the engine in that general area, I changed out the alt. and still the same problem. Its not like its just a screeching noise the car will not idle, it just dies without my foot on the gas. It has a whole new opti spark, can any of the other pulleys freeze up. I need any and all advice, thanks guys.

Sounds like a frozen pulley, and the belt on the pulley is just burning from friction.

best thing to do is take the belt off and crank it and see if it still does then you will know if its a frozen pulley.
