chirping / squeeking sound at engine accessory area... have questions

[jruppert]

I am getting this squeeking sound at the accessory side of the engine. It seems to speed up and slow down as I am giving it throttle. I can take off and hear it but when I let up, the squeeking stops or minimizes. It only seems to do it when I am throttling it. Any ideas? I thought at first an accessory but like I said, it goes away when I let off the gas. I have read information regarding a cam sensor and thought maybe this could be it, not sure though..

You either have a loose drivebelt or need a new drivebelt.

I have replaced the belt and replaced some pulleys and I still get this noise. The sound seems like it is either coming from the power steering area or the CID. I am at a loss.

Motor mount?

hmm.. yeah that did cross my mind but i figured it would make more of a clunking noise. im gonna take the belt of and start it up to see if it still does it. maybe its the tensioner?

I pulled the accessory belt tensioner off and it popped apart as the bolt came out. I suppose I found my problem. Now alls I have to do is find me another one.
