When I'm in park the belt does not do sputter with a/c on, at all. It boggles me that it is doing this. It stops then goes though, so today I had the a/c flushed, and an evac and compressor put in. What in the world could be?

It makes my tentioner wobble from flopping so much. Could it be a bad pulley? It only happens when im idle and stopped with a/c on, in drive. (Park doesn't do this).
Please help, your advice will be appreciated.
thanks



Alot of people will tend to skip right over your post if it is incoherrent or hard to read/decipher. I rephrased it for you the best that I could rationally determine.

I would bet that your serpantine tensioner is either bad, not tightened down, or the belt itself it stretched out. (doubtful if the belt is new)


I would remove the belt and check the tensioner to make sure it doesn't wobble freely, if it does replace it, or tighten it to the correct specs.
