no. you probably wouldn't have broken anything in the motor. by the way, which belt? how bad did it overheat (ex. do you still have coolant, oil). what's telling you it overheated? give me some more info to work with.

Check your compression, do a de-flood and see if it starts.

IF you get it running at that point do a coolant seal test.

All these can befound in the archives.....

And for the love of gawd....watch your gauges....

You can send power to the fuel pump by shorting a test plug in the engine bay on the passenger side. Do a full fuel test, pressure, gas in tank (yes, I have seen this), prime the lines, check for power. One check the FSM doesn't tell you is to pinch the return line while checking the the fuel pressure to see if it increases pass the spec. This will tell you if you have a good pressure building fuel pump.
