mbpgawest Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 ma'snastylexus, congradulations on your 21st birthday. Nice gift to your self! As for the noise, have changed the belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbpgawest Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 next thing I would do is clean all of that stuff you sprayed on. Take the belt off and clean each pully. I would use brake clean or "Gunk Engine Cleaner" and use a brush . Then put a new belt on. Sorry it will be your 4th. See what other people say, you will probably get other replies later today.

99lsguy Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Yeah, check the tension on the belt first. If ok, then take off the belt and inspect the pulleys........ Sounds like a bearing is out on one of them. If you can "hand turn" some of them, listen and feel/wiggle for worn bearings. I know you can turn the P/S pulley. BTW, seven consecutive lines with no punctuation of any kind; but I could read it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 it might that the tensioner puts too much tenstion on the belt and one of the bearings is squeaking or just going bad, try to localise where the noise is coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma'snastylexus Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 thank you very much for the help. I tryed cleaning every thing befor but did not work.The idle pully was bad had that change.There is a cover that goes on it.I lost the old one and went awhile without one.Could the pully be bad again because of this? thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
