Hey guys, i know this i my first post here on 6gc, but i've been lurkin for a while since i got my ST a few months ago. i never really posted because i know what to expect from cars and how to repair the small things like blinker fluid and muffler bearings. But as of now I seem to be having a little problem. Let me start from the beginning......

Two weeks ago monday, after a nice little hot tub session at like 2am, i come out to my car and realizie that my car was broken into and now there is glass everywhere in my car, laptop and cell gone, I was fine with that because the car was still driveable and the junkyard was down the road. so went to the yard picked up the window the next day and installed it there, no big. That wednesday just drivin along, this girl crosses the road infront of me and i slam the brakes. Sitting at idle for about 10sec after the car justs dies. Motor shuts down the power goes out and i cant get her started. I finnally get out and check the cables and get power again but the car wont turn over and start, i mean the starter was workin the block was turning but still nothing. So i push her to the side of the road and wait a few min and she fires up. Im only like 100 yards to the apartment entrance so i continue to pull in but as soon as i hit the brakes the motor dies and i have to coast into a parking spot.

A few friends come out and they tell me thats its my timing belt and im like, no, it cant be cause the block is turning. so i go through and start replacing everything that i can think of and it still wouldnt fire over.

Things i've replace:
1 fuel pump
2 fuel filter
3 spark plugs
4 starter (bonus: picked up a revolution exhaust at the same time cause the guy at the yard said just keep it)
5 intake (cause i hate stock)
6 distributer cap
7 distributer rotor
8 coil pack (pulled from a five speed, but i have an auto)
9 efi relay
10 two other random relays (the pink ones in the fuse box, both were blown)

Just to find out 4 days later that my timing belt really was missing some teeth. Dammit all to hell. so replaced the timing belt and the car fired up.

now heres my problem, after all of this my car was running fine except one thing that i thought was annoying. my car now wouldn't shift right, it would either shift early or shift at red line, or just chill in third at 4000rpms doing 70mph. But after my car warmed up it shifted correctly. but today i was driving to lunch and it did the whole 3rd gear thing again while driving down the highway and then...... rpms down to 0 motor dead but electronics still working so i was able to use my signals to move over. as i popped my hood and look directly at the timing belt all i see is smoke coming from the timing cover.

I need opinions, cause this is my only mode of transportation and i cant loose any more days of work over this stupid timing belt. so what do you guys think caused it.

maybe it was 80mph, but still, 4k is really high. point is why would my car not shift and then shortly after drop to 0rpms and have a smoking timing belt?
