The Crickets that Live in my Engine

[Jahnsolo]

In a previous post i talked about issues with my serpintine belt.... well it turns out that i had a bad tensioner... so i had it replaced... well after the mechanis did the work he noticed that my engine was chirping... he asked me was that there before... and the answer is NO... so in an effort to find and correct the issue they removed the tensioner... removed, checked and cleaned all the pulley's... and re-installed all of thee above... well the chirping is still there...the pulleys are fine...the belt is fine...the tensioner is new... it chirps at start and fades away after about a minute... then the chirping returns when i accelerate... it chirps thru all the gear changes and then it fades... untill i press the gas to gain speed... is there any fix for this!?!?!?

Yes there is a service bulletin out about this and they have to redo the whole idle pulley bracket. It costs money to have the dealer do it or you can just let it go, it wont cause any problems, but just drive you crazy a bit.
