Help me!!
I was sitting in traffic tonight. All of a sudden my engine seemed like it was misfiring. All my fluids are good up to level and I have no kind of warnings as far as guages or lights. I opened hood and it sounds like a bunch of cans rattling in the */c although its had that sounds for months. As iI drive i get this plastic burning like smell. Is this a copuler situation and if so do I have to park the car until I get to rebuild it this weekend? I 'm goin out now to release the belt and check the play in the snout.

My 3 idler pully'* were replaced in Aug 2002. They replaced the plastic with metal ones except for the double one which didnt come in a metal. The alt sounds good although I expect it to go between now and another 20k miles just bec it looks original. The noise is definitely in the */c. I released the belt and when i turn the pulley by hand there is abt 1/4 to 1/2 play before it actually catches.

Thanx to your direct link for ZZ I have a very good idea now. Looks like the guy on the site has a different */c maybe a M90 but if I'm right I release belts, take off alt, suck out */c oil, pull bolts attaching nose cone, pry nosecone away from assembly, clean assembly, replace coupler, lube pegs w */c oil, light bead between metal and torque to abt 15lbs. Replace fluid (approx 2-3bottles). Is this right? Oh yeah and what'* the deal w me driving before this is repaired?

Sounds about right to me. I took off my entire */C though and cleaned the TB, cleaned the injectors, new injector rings, and a few other minor things. Just in case you need it here is a link to a ton of info on this particular fix. http://www.bonnevilleclub.com/forum/...408&highlight=

Worsecae scenario would be a stranded car and a full */C rebuild or replacement. I don't think you will hurt any other engine internals unless something in the SC physically breaks off and drops into it (not likely, but never know).
I guess my question is did this just "break" or has it worked it'* way up to this and you just took note of it now?

The noise and the play in the pulley has been happening for a few months now. I had (in my opinion) no performance probs until today.
