Strange sound?
Strange sound coming from the pulley system. I believe it's coming from the PSP. Not 100% on that, but I'm pretty sure. No squeeling or popping. Kind of a whirling? Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?

Just below the PSP pulley is an idler pulley. It may be the source of your noise. They will shell out over time and make odd noises. Check it out by loosening the drive belt and rotating the pulley by hand - anything but an ultra smooth rotation and lack of wobble in the pulley is cause for rejection.
Changed mine not long ago. Get one from NAPA if you need one.
