Does the idler pulley normally make a weird noise right before it goes out? On my 92 3.0l, with the engine running (idling or in gear, doesn't matter) there is a weird noise coming from what seems to be the top middle of the engine. With the hood up and the engine running, it sounds like it is coming from the idler pulley. I haven't actually checked anything out beyond listening to the engine with the hood up, but tomorrow I plan to pull the belt and check the operation of all the pulleys as best as I can. Is there anything I should be looking for that would indicate something isn't right? I know that's not a lot to go on right now, and I apologize. I'll try to have a little more information tomorrow. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, the water pump was replaced about three years ago, or so. Thanks in advance.
