Re: Car still idling at 3000RPM
You can also have screeching if the belt has been too tight and you're hearing a failed pulley bearing. When belts are too loose, they usually only squeal under transient changes, like when you change engine speed quickly, etc. Squealing all the time often means bearing failure.

Re: Car still idling at 3000RPM
Ya retightend the tension yesterday, it definitely got better. But still squealing like a pig if turned 30 degrees or more. I don't have any 1/2" drive socket extensions so I've been lifting the tensioner by hand..
In the how-to the guy uses a 4" & a 10" drive socket extension to get the leverage needed for the right tension, I guess that's my problem right there, either that or I'll get a friend to muscle it to the right tension

Ah, be happy no worries. Tried to use the regular extensioners but had better results using the wheel lug wrench handle 
Only squeals at the futhermost of each end of the wheel, so I'll settle for that now. But new serpentine and p\s belts in a month just for added security.
Thanks all.
