I meant put on the SC belt by itself, then the other by itself to see if it isolated the noise to one set of pullies. If it's present with both, you'd probably narrow it down to the harmonic balancer. The rubber in them can crack over time and it'll rattle like sunovagun, and be difficult to tell ...

Replaced tensioner, noise still is there. Fluid on s/c is up to the threads, although it is dark. The s/c pulley feels smooth and I can hear the air moving when I spin the pulley.

The noise is only made when both belts are on. If I remove the belt that runs the s/c it goes away.
When I put the screwdriver to it I can't tell if the sound is coming from the s/c or the tensioner.
I am leaning torward the tensioner because it shakes more than the s/c pulley, but then again, it's ...

The s/c has new bearings and a rebuild about 8K ago, with no slop that I can notice. I can't really remove the belt from one or the other as it's too long to do that. I may take my drill and a lawn mower belt and spin them one at a time to see if either makes the noise.

We have a 93 Park Avenue Ultra with a rattle that seems to be coming from the s/c pulley or the tensioner next to it.
I removed the belt from both and the noise disappeared. The s/c pulley seems to turn easily enough by hand.
The rattle goes away at 1000 RPM. How can I determine what is causing the ...

At least he was distracted by a girl IN the car, and not on the sidewalk.
If she's going out with you again then she must be worth a mirror or two.

Scared the crap out of me... I was about half awake, only thing keeping me awake was the Monsoon audio... That bear definitley woke me up! For sure a first encounter for me too. This is a great trip so far though! Loving it!

Were you jamming out to Ted Nugent? That's probaby what attracted the ...

I had to actually file for the settlement, I got two checks for $100 each. One car had a $100 deductable on the work, and the other hadn't had the work done on it (yet).
This was for the Chevy Venture van as we had two of them at the time.

My '93 Park Avenue Ultra has an issue with where the heat goes, the drivers side gets the heat as does the back seat, but for the most part the passenger side gets cold air. Same with the defroster. So the heater core works, but where the heat goes does not. We removed the glovebox and I can ...

The insurance company wants to give you flack for being out of your home area, and yet they are sending an out of province adjuster.

How many HP for a "T-Type" logo?

Why not? The factory spent .01 on it so it must have some reason to be there. GM spends as little as possible to built these cars each and every day. GM doesn't go throwing foam parts around willy nilly.

Thanks for the info...now where did I leave that chunk of black packing foam? I can use my pumpkin carving tools and make my own.

What goes on the end of this empty hose? It appears a cone shaped piece of foam, but I am not sure. Found it while swapping out plugs & wires.

With all new plugs & O2 sensor, it now runs like a 3800 s/c should. Smoothly and with no hesitation under acceleration.
I may have to buy my son a new car so I can keep this one for myself.

Waiting on plug wires & O2 sensor that should be arriving soon, changed all the plugs and now you can floor the gas pedal without the car bucking, but now if you floor the gas pedal, when you take your foot off the gas it stalls completely.

Disconnected, removed from the car, and used computer parts cleaner and then a very light shot of air to blow off residue. Replaced 4 sparkplugs as the that's all the TR55s they had in stock.
I need to visit the junkyard to get a computer core for my other car anyway, for the $5 or $10
for the IAT ...

New plugs & O2 sensor going in today, plug wire installation takes place early next week.

O2 sensor is gold-ish, and looks to be original. Cleaned the IAT, and the same problem occured. The plug wires say "Packard" on them, does that mean they are original wires or aftermarket?

Is the Delphi o2 sensor the same as AC Delco? Locally they sell the Delphi sensor, but only the AC Delco connector wire. AC used to be under the Delphi umbrella but don't know anymore.
