On my 92 Accord Sedan

It's much smaller than the existing one, my mechanic is telling me he may be able to shorten the belts.

 

Will it fit....Yes. It says right on the auction that it is made for your engine. With no modifications other than a longer belt.

Question is do you trust a $9.00 under drive pulley and do you want to get rid of your power steering? That pulley, if it is the one pictured, will only run the Alt & A/C belt. You may have electrical load problems if you have any sort of device (stereo/DVD display) that requires constant voltage/amperage.

Ask the seller if it is balanced, if it has any type of certification and if you can run your stock power steering. That is if you want to keep P/S.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

I most definitely want to keep the Power Steering, as this car is going to be gift. Only thing is I've been trying to fix this problem for month. The engine squeaks terribly when idling. It also shakes when in idle. Using my elec. windows, that makes it shake even more.

I'm already looking for another crank pulley, have any suggestions on where I should be looking?

 

The squeak is probably an old dry belt or a belt that is not adjusted properly. Ether to tight or too loose. I doubt that it's the crank pulley that is squeaking. There is an adjustment bolt on the alternator for the large belt and the adjustment for hte power steering blet is on the power steering pump.

Your idle problem is probably a dirty idle air control valve (IACV). Look through the FAQ's at the top of the Accord forum. There is a do it yourself IACV cleaning thread. It will take you step by step through the IACV & throttle body cleaning process.

 

Have you made any attempt to contact the seller about this product yet?

I have yet to hear anything back from the seller in regards to the above message. So if you want to take a $9.00 chance on a product that the seller wont answer legitimate questions about. That's up to you.

 

I think it's obvious that installing this crank pulley wouldn't be the wisest idea. I'd rather pay a little bit for to get a pulley of the same size as the existing one.

Thank you for all your help Ghost. I'd like to send you an In-N-Out gift certificate (provided you live in California as I do).

I'm working on a video to visually (and audibly) display the problems my car has so you can get a better feel for the implications.

 

Sorry boss, I don't think you could be any further away from Cali and still be in North America. Well that's a little bit of a false hood, but I am living in on the east coast of Canada Eh!

A large majority of DIY'ers are here to help each other for free. At least that's what I thought this site was about. I guess some are making money off it though......I don't do this stuff for a living any more, it's a hobby for me. I guess it would be nice to start turning a profit off my hobby though

Once you get a video up and posted someone will be able to help you out.
