Serious problem please help asap
I just got back from a ~10 minute trip and half way through my car had zero power, just enough to cruise at the speed limit. The car started hesitating really bad and smoking, dying at red lights. I reluctantly made it home and looked under the car, my passenger header was glowing red. The temp gauge reads normal.. any ideas?

sound like the timing belt is off by a few teeth. That would explain the hesitation issue too

Hope not something related to a broken valve ...
Any sounds inside the engine?
