If you are going to replace it, do the belts while your in there. It seems very odd that it just simply stopped. Looking back at the design, the only thing that could have happened is that the impeller has come off. I would have thought the roller on the outside would drop off and you would lose all timing... Odd. You are absolutely sure there are no other problems?

a thermostat fault could cause this situation. if it gets stuck when it should open it may cause an overheating problem
