Press on the alternator belt (reach down from the top, not too hard to get at) with two fingers and if it’s too loose it should be pretty obvious - or at least mine was. It should only press down 6-11mm I believe as per FSM (based on newness and other factors). Also check it’s condition, make sure it isn’t cracked etc. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/please-help-idiling-prob/103528)._
