Got the panel off, started the car and confirmed that it was still doing it. Took off the belt and started again for a couple seconds and the problem was gone. It looks like the pulley on the alternator bolt had seized up and melted the belt to it, which explains a lot. Ordering a new pulley, bolt, and belt. However, I have no idea how to get the old idler pulley out without removing the entire alternator, which is an utter drag. Any ideas?
