78057, Why am I throwing belts
Posted by BARNETT, Jul-25-04 09:17 AM
Here is my problem,every now and again when I accidently,and I do mean accidently,hit the rev limiter,it throws my power stering/ac belt off. I have tighten,loosend,and even taken it to a mechanic to try to figure this out and still have nothing.If there is anyone out there who may have come across this problem themselves please let me know how to fix this.

yea like they mentioned.. do you have an underdrive pulley or have u removed your crank pulley any time recently. Usually the problem is related to the pulleys not lining up correctly. Do they squeel when the weather is wet or if u hit a puddle?? Give us more info

my car will sound like, bumbabumbubavrooooooooooooooomrooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhh, kishhhhhh
