About two weeks ago I noticed the belt over the lip of the smog pump pulley so I fixed that. Then Friday, i totally disintegrated the belt and took out the stupid plastic idler pulley. So I put a new idler pulley and belt on and everything seemed fine. This morning however, not so much. Went to start the car, heard a weird noise so I shut it down, and once again the belt is jumping the smog pulley! All the pulleys look to be lined up but I noticed the belt rides toward the outer portion of the water pump pulley. I don't think I put the smog pulley on backwards when I put the car together, but I'll have to check tonight. Only other thing I can think of is the tensioner is going bad after 204,000 miles. Anybody have any other ideas?</p></blockquote><p></p>
