Got all new belts the correct size for the U/R crank pulley.
Tightened them pretty well as some said loose belts caused a
squeal.1st time the belt broke it was the alt/waterpump -cause was
alt not adjusted properly by the guy helping me so put a new
belt on. Squealing continued but after idle air elect connector
calmed idle down squeal almost went away. Then after everything was replaced with all new correct
belts sizes and tightened. i thought all was well. Well I started the car the next morning as I had worked most
of the night putting new belts. and the Air conditioner belt
jumped off. I had to go to work so I cut the air
conditioner belt since it's not hot yet. Started up the car
and was adjusting the idle with the headlights fogs and
economy air on. YES the alternator failed to produce power
to recharge the battery. Now Ive got the new air condition belt and a new alternator
to install.
I'm going to check all alignment of pulleys, and belt
tensions and hope this fixes the sqeual and throwing belts.
will report back after this.
It may be the idler pulley but it seems to rotate fine, air
conditioner spins fine with engine off.
It may be I'll be replacing the power steering, air
conditioner, and idler pulley!!!! Jon
