I have a 94 Saturn 1.9 and just replaced the serpinetine belt and installed a new ideler pully and belt pulley tensoner.
First raise frount of car and support it on jack stands block back wheels and disconect pos batt cable.
take frount passanger side tire off.
remove inner wheel cover.
use a pice of wood on a jack and take a little presure off of the engine not much.make sure that wood is under oil pan as not to damage oil pan.
take top motor mount off, don't worry motor will not fall as you have the jack in place.
use correct wrench and turn bolt on the delt tensoner, lift belt off of all pullys.
With same wrench lossen bolt off and remove tenssoner pully assy.
Now is a good time to replace v-belt and ideler pully and belt tenssoner pully assy. it cost me 32.00 for belt and 111.00 for tensonner assy and 56.00 for ideler pully.
Put it all back the way you took it off
Toke me about 2 hours not in a hurry
Good luck.

The idle is controls ONLY by the PCM. Replace your ECTS along with cleaning the Idle Air Control valve located on the throttle body.

Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor. Your car has two, replace the one with the 2 wire connector
i cant seem to get my tension idle aligned properly.. i think it's the washer alignment is wrong. 2000 qx4 top idle pulley
Yes but it is computer controled .If it's bad you can clean it or replace it.
The squealing a scraping is most likely the idle pulley. i would replace that and the belt then see what happens
idle pulley is a pulley on an engine that does not drive any accesories ,such as water pump or alternator. it is put there to route the belt so as the belt will not hit or rub on other parts or accesories
replace the intake manifold gaskets they have know conditions of leaking
You can't adjust it, you have to replace either the IAC ( idle air control ) sensor or the TPS ( throttle position sensor ) to fix a bad idle.
Hope you have small hands and the right tools.
Idle is computer controlled by the pcm (computer)-not adjustable.
