oil pressure is low, alt gauge is low, and belt is loose.. need to fix this ASAP

 

all that can be happening cause of the belt being loose any idea why its loose idler or just need a new belt?

 

well I think I could get a new one, but ive never installed a belt before,,

on the oil part, i checked the level and its a lil low, So im running to the gas station to get a quart of oil,,

 

belts are pretty easy there should be a diagram on the top of the grille that shows the belt pattern and it may say the size im not sure but its just loosening the idler and removing the old belt and installing a new one

 

where is the idler? sorry i really dont know about belt parts,,

 

ok just put in a quart of oil in it, and the oil pressure gauge went to half way between the 40 line and the one before it... know what I mean? Ive always have it normally if not at 40 real close..

also the oil level is now good

 

ok now the belt no longer squeels bc my dad told me to put some wd40 and now is ok... but I think its still a lil loose,, it might be time to change it right...

also now the alt gauge went up a lil

 

fixed thanx

 

not a problem just next time you open your hood look for that little sticker and it will show you how that whole setup works

 

yeah I dont have that sticker, I looked up a howto on cardomain

 

oh woops but cardomain works too

 

I made a how to.. hope it gets approved

 

cool so you did put a new belt on?

 

yes I did

 

Nice and the alt. gauge went up?
