Check that the CKP Crankshaft position sender wasn't knocked out of alignment when you put on the belt. It is at the 10 o'clock position.

How do you change the power steering belt of a 1994 Chrysler LeBaron?
The power steering is driven by the serpentine belt which must be changed by releasing the tensioner, located below the alternator. The only other belt is for the A/C compressor.
How do change the alternator belt on a 1997 sts caddilac?
The belt is changed by removing the tention off of the tentioner, take a 1/2" ratchet and place it in the square hole on the side of the tensioner. Push down on the ratchet (clockwise) and the tensioner will lift off of the serpentine belt allowing you to slip it off, then reverse the process with the new belt

How do you loosen the Tensioner for a serpentine belt in a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer?
, i also have 97 mountianeer, when i changed my alternator i couldn't figure out where the tensioner was. but i looked at the belt routing diagram located under the hood by the headlights and the tensioner is on bottom of the motor on the passenger side so you have to get it from the bottom, i hope that helps you. If it is the same tensioner style as the 2004, you can get it from the top using a 3/8" drive breaker bar inserted in the square hole by the pulley on the tensioner. I just replaced mine 2 days ago.
Why is your alternator belt continuing to break and snap on your 97 Mazda Protege?
I am having the same problem with a 99 Protege. I have changed the alternator and aligned/cleaned the pulleys and the problem persists.I replaced the alternator, on my 1997 Mazda Protege, seven times before someone figured out why the serpentine belt kept breaking. It was the belt tensioner! It had to be removed and rebuilt. Now it is working like a charm!! And I havn't had to replace the alternator in over 3 months!!!!

You just changed the alternator on a 90 LSC you are having trouble getting the belt tensioner back on Is there a trick?
im going on the assumption that you are referring to the belt back on the tensioner cause there is no reason to remove the tensioner to install an alt. if it is a matter of putting the belt on, make sure that the belt is routed correctly through the pulleys. then remove the belt off the alternator, put the belt on the tensioner THEN pull the tensioner back with a wrench on the tensoiner adjusting nut. slip the belt on the alternator and slowly release the wrench. i hope this was helpful
How do you change a serpentine belt on a 92 caprice classic?
the belt tensioners are on the alternator and the air conditioner. On the alternator, you would have to loosen the 2 bolts that are on the tension bar. On the air conditioner, you would have to loosen the tension bolt and you would also have to loosen a bolt that is behind the air conditioner pulley. You would have to turn the pulley to get the holes to line up to the bolt to loosen.
You need a belt diagram for your 92 Plymouth laser you changed your v-belt and your serpentine belt a week ago and now another belt blew your car doesnt start but wants to turn over is this why?
sounds like your pully tensioner might be bad, throwing the belt... which runs your alternator, which might be why the car wont start.
Where is the coolant temperature sensor located on my 2001 dodge ram 1500 5.2 engine?
Just changed one today. It is behind the alternator. If you disconnect the top alternator bolt and then the lead to the alternator, and loosen the bottom bolt, you can swing the alternator towards the passenger side and see the sensor. You obviously have to remove the serpentine belt to move the alternator. have fun jjs
How is a serpentine belt changed on a 2004 Chevy Impala?
First you locate the tensioner pulley, which is the black plastic pulley below the alternator pulley. Then put a 15MM socket with long breaker bar and turn clockwise as you are facing the motor. It will be hard, there is about 120lbs of pressure on it, but you will move it. Have a helperremove the old belt and immediately follow it with the new belt in the same route. Release the tension, done!
