I have a 1990 geo with the same problem. What is wrong with mine is the pulley is actually a two part pulley ( an inner ring and outer ring) there is a rubber bushing that connects the two or in other words takes up the space between the two. That rubber bushing is most likely worn out. It could also a sheared key. The pulley and crankshaft both have a key way cut in them. I would say it is the rubber bushing.

You phucked it!
Yes, it is used to adjust the tension on the A/C compressor. Looking into the engine compartment from the passenger side it is to the left of the alternator. To adjust tension you need to loosen the bolt which holds the pulley and then adjust the bolt which is directly above the pulley. Once you have proper tension tighten the pulley bolt.
I assume you mean the idler pulley on the A/C belt. I have not replaced this particular item but it should be simple. Looking from the top of the engine compartment on the passenger side you will see the idler pulley with a mounting/locking bolt which attaches the pulley and the tension adjusting point immediately above it. Loosen the pulley locking bolt by turning counter clockwise. Relieve belt tension by turning the adjuster bolt counter clockwise. Remove the belt and pulley. Replace in the reverse order.
the engine is a 1.8 liter engine 4 cylinders
1.6
I believe Chevrolet
No... A corolla engine is made by Toyota for a Toyota Corolla vehicle... The Chevy Prism is made by Chevy... Chevy and Toyota are different companies...
1.8L 4 cylinder
The Geo Metro was the only Geo to have a 3cylinder engine.
You gotta get under the car and do it from the back of the engine.

From under the car. It's on the backside of the engine between the engine and firewall. Just about smack in the middle.
