Hey im new and ive been doin some lookin and havent found any solid answers jus wonderin if anyone can help me diagnose my girlfriends car. when the car is running something seems to be rattling like one of the pulley's are loose or something? anyways im thinkin it might be the harmonic balancer any other ideas?

 

Just noise? No Check Engine Light?

There's lots of moving parts that can rattle in there...

 

no check engine light just noise. i was playin with it its comming from the upper most pulley, it sounds like it could be loose or somthing is there a way to tighten it up?

 

any real mechanics on this site? or do they all belong to the forum on my car, pontiac grand prix's, real cars. grandprix.net and clubgp.com check it out

 

I'm guessing it's the power steering pulley. I don't remember any way to tighten it off hand, but I got rid of mine a long time ago, never played with it much. I'm sure there's a way to get it on and off, I just don't recall anyone doing it... You can hunt around salvage yards for a decent used pump, shouldn't run more than $40 or so. You can also try www.car-parts.com to search salvage yards nationwide. New ones are easily double that. Changing out the pump is easy enough, just 3 bolts hoding it on, and the electrical and hose connections.

Best of luck!
