Dead & left stranded by the road

Well, my baby pooped out on me tonight leaving me stranded just 1/4 mile from home. All of a sudden I felt the engine loose power, sputter and felt like it was running on four cylinders. When I made it to the red light it totally died out and would not start. Thank goodness the street light was on a hill so I was able to coast into a secure street where I was promptly met by a fellow Porsche owner offering to help. When I popped the deck lid open the engine smelt funny like it was hot and my fan belt was way loose! Over heated? Once the tow truck dropped me off back at home, out of curiosity I tried to start the car and it fired right up. However, the engine sounded like it was running rough...man I hope I did not screw it up!
