so i just recently got my car, and i havent had time to do much to it. but i have noticed, it sounds like the alternator belt is slipping at random rpms. more when i get on the gas. but it goes away. today i was driving down the interstate, and when i exited and slowed down, it sounded like i had added a supercharger to my car. i.e. loud belt whine. i got out and looked at the belt, it felt snug, and didnt look to be worn. what should i do?

 

You should take 2 minutes and tighten your alternator belt. IN the time it took you to write this post you could have solved your problem and not been on here bitching about it.

 

i checked that first chance i got. and it wasnt that. how do i tell how much to tq the timing belt tensioner? it seems a bit loose.

Did you try tightening your alternator belt? Usually its hard to tell by hand that the belt is not tight enough therefore causing it to squeel. I'd loosen it and try tightening up the belt/alternator as much as you can.

 

.AJ.......it could also be his alternator bearing

someone told me that, and asked if my lights get dim till i hit the gas, and they arent. if i buy an alternator for this motor, can i use it with the b series swap im going to put in?

 

dont think so....i love it how people are so quick to be A-holes on this site (.AJ)


good luck

I'm not an "A-hole" but that was basically noah freks exact response in one of my threads last night. EXCEPT he offered NO HELP what so ever in the post he made. Just jumped to conclusions that i didnt check my car before posting and made a useless post.

Check it out before you jump to conclusions as well https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1133574

He had no idea have how much time i spent on my car diagnosing the problem, but felt the need to make the assinine post anyhow.

 

haha ok nevermind......you two argue amongst yourselves then....lol....and quit bickering with each other for once and try to help each other!

 

I'm not bickering, every post i've made was helpful
