I'm wondering if the tensioner is worn out, not putting enough pressure on the belt?
It would be very hard to lift- you really can't lift it without a tool.

well this is a non-groove idler pulley.

tweeked means not sitting straight and aligned with alternator pulley as you can see in the picture, there's a cover on the middle of the pulley but can't seem to get it off!!

so i've gotten everything fixed. then the belt started walking off the alternator pulley!!! so many problems with this car......then i take a closer look and the idler pulley is tweaked!!! so how do i get this off, of course i can't find anything on it so please help me out!!!

i think what the problem might be is that i'm routed it unsing haynes manual for 98 and later,.....i'm an idiot ill let you know what happens!!! Oh by the way this was the old thermostat housing lower

yes it is

So everything is bac together, but now the drivebelt is waking of the alternator any thoughts...is there an adjustr to move the lternator over or anything like that?

Thi is turning into one big cluster f*&k. How the hell do you get this lower thermostat housing off with all this crap in the way. Just spent a hour moving the pwr steering pump that's why its a clear shot. Pleasze anyone out there help.
