new with Acura's and need some help

[Curt_Integra]

hey guys
so i just went out and got me 1991 integra LS
it is really loud for the wrong reasons
it sounds like the pulleys are in need of grease or something
would it be a good idea to take them off grease them or should i just go out and buy new stuff
thanks for lookin and your help

Tighten the PS/AC/Alternator belts if they're loose. Wouldn't hurt to replace them though. You do not want to "grease" any belts.

 

[Curt_Integra]

alright will do
sweet car man

 

[Curt_Integra]

alright so the belts are tight could it be the pulleys or something
cause it is doing the same thing
i dont want to tighten the belts anymore
because they are good

lol @ grease

spray wd-40 on the belt that is making the noise. if it stops, it's the belt. if not, it's the pulley.

Sound right to you guys? That's what I did for my old Taurus at least.

 

[sexystover]

well he hasnt described the sound.. so for all we know it could not even be the belts

 

[Curt_Integra]

it sounds like the belts and when the car turn off you can hear the sound slow down
thats how i figured it was either the belt or pully

 

[sexystover]

pull ur belts off one at a time and just start the car for like 5-10 seconds and figure out which belt makes the sound go away so you can narrow i down

just replace all the belts, they are cheap, make sure they are tight (not over tightened either)

 

[Curt_Integra]

Alright will try thanks guys

wasting money? hes gonna have to replace the belts eventually, if not now in the future. belts dont last for ever lol

Maybe so, but they are a cheap item and once you have a new one on, you can rule it out as the problem.

Hey Guys I need help with two things but i'm more worried about one than the other...My rear defroster switch isn't working. It won't light up or turn on at all. I checked the fuses, the fuses are all fine. I replaced the switch, the switch wasn't the problem either. What could this be????????
