Did you shoot each pulley with wd 40 and see if you can get it to stop?

yes tried shooting it with wd and was told today that you shouldnt do that because the belt would absorb the wd? never heard of it but what the hell today it seems to do it under a load i.e when i press the gas now it wont do it idling or at a stop light im lost ive talked to several ase tech and friends and family and all yall i cant seem to figure this one out.....??????
