okay, 94 mazda 626 i come back from college everythings working fine, the car's been started pretty regularly while i was gone. Drive it about 150 miles in the two days... pull it out of the driveway Christmas eve night, i notice the power steering seems gone i can barely turn the wheel. Drive it to the gas station and my engine's overheating... apparently all the inside circulation system is damaged or something...and then i see i'm idling at about 2300 rpm's...WHAT THE HELL! how many things can go wrong at once? any ideas- this happened to anyone before?

I'd guess it's a belt problem which has caused the power steering pump to develop no pressure and the water pump to cease flowing enough coolant to col the car.

Yeah I'm hoping that too...shouldn't be too expensive but i'm not sure with the mazda...would that throw of the rpm's too the drive belt doesn't hit the distributor but maybe something else...alternator?
