Doing a bit of looking around I found the following:
Part Number Y54414 (AP4291235) replaces Y54414, R0609504, 14218926, R0609504, 54414
I don't believe there is an idler pulley on that model, just a tensioner pulley
To determine the number of inter washers in an idler pulley, you would typically need specific details about the pulley design and assembly. The number of inter washers can vary based on the application and manufacturer specifications. If you have a particular idler pulley model in mind, consulting its technical documentation or assembly instructions would provide the most accurate information.

Is it serious if my car idler is making a noise?
It is not recommended to bypass an idler pulley as it plays a crucial role in the functioning of the drive belt system. You may experience issues such as increased belt wear, noise, and decreased performance if you bypass the idler pulley. It is best to replace a faulty idler pulley to ensure the proper operation of your vehicle.
