1 Locked up pulley(A/C Compressor,Power Steering Pump,Smog Pump,Water Pump,Idler 2 Pulley or Tensioner Pulley)
3 Broken belt tensioner(out of adjustment or broken,missing spring)
4 Pulleys out of alignment
5 Wrong size belt
The belt tensioner probably needs to be replaced - about $110 @ PepBoys. Check the alignment of all pulleys. If something isn't aligned properly the belt will keep breaking.
The belt tensioner is probably bad.
Reasons: Cheap Belt Too tight
Mow the grass,Mow the garden.
Whatever component that it drives is probably locking up.
Incorrect belt, too tight or too loose belt. Should be 1/4 inch deflection at the mid-point of the belt. Pulleys out of alignment or warped.
Incorrect type belt. A/C locked up. Belt adjusted too tight or too loose. Misalignment of the pulleys.
No. It is not an interference motor, and it should not be harmed by the belt breaking.
my l1742 dont want to go every time i put it in gear it burns the belt like the trans axcel is locked what is the problem
Replace your a/c evaporator filter under dash. Liquid refrigerant is getting back to compressor causing belt to break.
you must have a pulley that has a bad bearing i would take and spin each pulley with the belt off and see what one dose not spin freely and replace
Most likely one of your pulleys/accessories has a bearing going out and seizes intermittently causing it to fly.
