How to change air conditioner belt on 86 dodge aries 2.2 engine

Can't find a tightening brace to make the belt tight

  • Anonymous Jul 03, 2012

    Yes somewhat helped Dodge has the most confusing things like wipers you have to go into the cowl to fix a wiper not working as opposed to just tightening a nut.If the people that make these things had to work on them they would make it differently

SOURCE: accessory belt replacement for 2001 dodge intrepid es

I have just replaced the belt myself. Loosen the nut slightly that holds on the AC belt idler pulley. I removed the fan assy for access room but maybe you have smaller hands than me. Down at the bottom of the AC belt adjustment assembly, there is a long adjuster bolt. I beleive that the head is 13mm on my 2001 Trep ES. This bolt head can be accessed at an angle thru the bottom using a long extension to loosen and tighten the belt. Remember to tighten the nut in the center of the idler pulley that you loosened before.
Remember SAFETY! Never get under anything that is not well supported. No jack is trustworthy.

SOURCE: Freestar Air Conditioner makes engine stop

sounds like the a/c compressor is siezed, i would not recommend using the a/c, the only problem with that is when you put the defroster on the ac will kick on, the best way is to unplug the a/c compressor, if you look on the top of the ac compressor there should be a 2 wire connector, unplug it and this will disable the a/c. to fix the problem the a/c compressor needs to be replaced and the entire ac system flushed and replace the suction accumulator, orifice tube and if it has rear ac it will need a thermostatic expansion valve

This reply is probably too late to help,
but no, it is NOT an interference engine.
I've had my timing belt break twice in the course of 253,000 miles
with no damage to the valves and pistons.

SOURCE: Mitsu Montero Sport '02 engine stalls but not when air cond is on.

hi there. the reason that the engine idles good when the air-con is engaged is that ussually all vehicles nowadays have a vacumm advance mechanism. this is triggered mainly by a electric solenoid valve which is also attached parallel to the source supplying power to compressor. a small vacumm hose with a diameter like a common pencil or ballpen case. its made of rubber and it runs from the alternator vacumm pump then to the solenoid valve and to the vacumm advancer unit attached to the injection pump throttle. this system raises the idle a tad higher.

if your montero runs completely normal and you experience no other problems with your engine except for your present problem, then the solution is just raising the idle a little higher. if your montero is equiped with a RPM guage on the dash, try adjusting the idle to around 800 rpms. it would be healthier for your car if the idle raises a bit when you engage the air-con because this would compensate for the added load on your engine.

hope this helps.

its sounds like a duff battery, have you tried jump starting it from another battery etc. if you can turn engine by hand a full rotation then not its not seized. . the starter motor could of gone but you would of had problems with it before hand. to me it just sounds like a bad battery. batteries can just go, volts may look good but its the amps that are need to turn the engine over. no amps then it would struggle to even move the motor.

  3. Working through the wheel well, unfasten the alternator brace-to-block bolt, then remove the brace-to-intake nut and the brace-to-engine stud nut.
  4. Unplug the alternator wiring connector, then remove the battery terminal nut and wire.
  5. Carefully release the serpentine belt tension and remove the belt from the alternator pulley. Do not allow the tensioner to snap back into position once the belt is off the pulley.
  6. Loosen the alternator retaining bolts, then support the alternator and remove the fasteners. Remove the alternator from the vehicle.

To install:
  1. Position the alternator in the vehicle and loosely install the retaining bolts.
  2. On 1994-98 models, tighten the top alternator bolt to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm) and the bottom bolt to 32 ft. lbs. (43 Nm).
  3. On 1999-99 models, tighten the rear bolt to 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm) and the front bolt to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).
  4. On 1994-98 models, install the alternator brace, then tighten the retaining nut(s) and bolts to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm).

Timming engine

They may be referring to the timing belt. It may have skipped a tooth or two altering the timing. Replace belt & align pulley dots properly. Top pully dot dead bottom . Bottom pulley dot dead top. You need to remove bolts for side motor mount & raise engine to remove & replace belt. Belt is housed by two plastic covers. Good luck!
