I tried to start my car when I saw smoke coming from under the hood. I found it was the serpentine belt. I also found a plastic 3 1/2 inch threaded ring on the driveway. Does anyone know where this came from? and is it the reason the belt is now smoking?joshuallyn@yahoo.com

Take the belt off and see which one (pulley/idler/assessorie) doesn't turn other than the crankshaft which won't by hand,
