Alternator Problem
Alternator Problem
I have went through about 5 belts on my 94'Mazda MX3...<BR>It will do fine when I put a new one on...<BR>Within days or weeks, it beings to screech and squeak really bad, until it snaps and comes off...<BR>and it usually starts it when im first turning on my car, or if I have sat at a red light, it starts up again, until I give it alot of gas, get into maybe second gear...let off the gas and then back on - that is when it will stop...<P>Do I need a new alternator? pulleys? belts?<BR>and how much...<P>Thanks<BR>~Mike
Why did I smoke 2 01' Honda Civics at a stoplight w/ my stock 96' MX3? Cause the drivers were too busy rev'in up their engines to hear their $hitty mufflers!

Re: Alternator Problem
i had the same problem, it would go from my alternator belt to my power steering belt. i probably have put ten or more belts on. two weeks ago a mech. wire brushed the pulleys and they have been great since!!

Re: Alternator Problem
I had the same problem when I put my new H/O alternator on... its in the shop getting a new belt right now. I figure if it snaps again, I can blame the shop until they fix it
