2002 Arc, 75K miles. I had the timing belt and idler pulley done around 15K miles ago.
The car idles correctly, does not surge. However, there is a noticable sound coming from the block. Almost like a bearing in one of the pullies is shot. Almost sounds like dieseling. Sounds a little like something is slapping around. It's worse at higher RPM's. Bringing it into the dealer tomorrow AM which means ~40 more miles on it before it can be seen.
I'm assuming it's the pulley that runs the power stearing, etc and I guess I was under the impression that a bad bearing will essentially freeze the pulley.
My poor car needs some TLC. I've gotta do front brakes, exhaust, trans fluid, thermostat/temp sending, and tires all before the snow flies. Now this.
