Fan belt or tensioner pulley
Friday, October 28, 2005 3:51 PM
I get a squealing noise at idle with my 01 sunfire, not too loud, but enough to let me know its there, is this just a bad fan belt, or is my tensioner pulley getting bad.

Could be either. What's your mileage? If you've never changed the belt, then that's probably it.
