Does the 1995 Pontiac Sunfire have a tension pulley?
If your car has a serpentine belt it will have a tensioner pulley. A tensioner pulley is easy to spot. All of your bolt on accessories i.e. water pump, alternator, a/c compressor etc. will have a pulley to run each one. There will be 2 other types of pulleys, a idler pulley and a tensioner. The idler pulley will be a single stationary pulley with a bolt going through the middle and the tensioner pulley will be on a spring loaded piviot.

If the idler pulley is frozen, it is high time to replace the timing belt and the idler. And while that job is being done, consider replacing the water pump and thermostat.
How do you replace the tensioner spring on a 2001 Chevy Camaro?
The tension idler is not made to come off by itself. Remove the ground on the battery. Remove the belt by taking a breaking bar and a 15mm socket and pushing down on the tension idler. You can check the pulley by turning the nut that holds the pulley in a clockwise direction to remove. If the pulley bearing is not the problem, then you have to remove the bracket that holds the altenator. The tension idler and the bracket, which is part of the water pump are made together. Remove the alternator which has three bolts. Remove the two heater hoses on the side of the bracket.The bracket has two bolts. Remove the two bolts and slide the bracket out sideways towards the fender well. There are two 90 degree elbows that are plastic which come with the new part that need to be replaced. Cost is about 80 dollars.

What makes the pulleys squeak on 1996 Pontiac sunfire?
This is almost always caused by worn drive belts. Replace all the belts at the same time. If it has a serpentine belt, then replace it. Be sure and check the idler pulley to make sure the squeak is not coming from the idler pulley itself. Another possibility is a bad alternator, water pump, or power steering pump. Check them all.

How long can you drive your car if the idler pulley is broken?
If an idler pulley is broken, I would advise not to drive it anywhere. It would effect the power steering, water pump, alternator and coolant fan causing you to get stuck on the road and possibly cost many more $$ in damage.
