Thats just a serpentine belt fir your alt, water pump pwr steering. Will not affect timing at all. Timing chain is under a cover under water pump. Prob running rough bevause alt not turning and computer is confused as to what is going on and water pump not turning, prob a ***** to turn also. Dont run it too long or youll drain the battery and overheat the motor from no waterpump

Yeah I was going to replace belt and tensioner. If this one blew up should I just replace all the pulleys that are plastic? Any idea why it blew up?

Age, time, etc.... it happens, it may have just been on its way out and you never noticed....When the belt is off just spin every pulley by hand to make sure every spins free and makes no real noise. You wont be able to spin a few so after belt is on eyeball and listen to be sure it sounds right. Your prob good, it just may have been time for that one to go. Good luck

Also manufacturing defects. They could of made a bad batch. Bearings go bad all the time. No need to replace them all unless they all making noise, but that’s very unlikely scenario.
easy fix, you just grab that with a 15mm socket (I believe that's the size), twist and get the belt off then just R&R, probably run $35-40 at the parts store

So im not sure if this is all a coincidence, but after the fix : only did the belt and pulley, I now have a check engine light on! Says oil is low and she is sluggish as hell. WTH?!?!?!
what is the code? if you don't have a scanner just about any autoparts store will scan it for free and many shops will as well no charge.
