Idler Pulley squeak!! Hello my fellow LS1 owners,
I own a 2002 Trans Am and I have been having a problem with this annoying squeak coming from the Idler pulley. I already replaced the idler pulley and the tensioner pulley and still getting the annoying squeak. I narrowed it down to the idler pulley. I turn on the car and right away it starts squeaking and it squeaks as I drive for a long while. The way I narrowed down the squeak to the idler pulley, was to spray WD40 on every pulley that I can see and squeak stops when I start spraying on the idler pulley. The squeak goes away for a few minutes and comes right back. Like I mentioned before, I replaced the pulley already and still have the squeak. :-(
Any ideas?
I have no place to turn to. I have searched endlessly with no luck.
Thank you,
Ray

Had this problem about a week ago after I changed my power steering pump which decided to throw fluid every where. Car had a tiny chirp at first, which got louder as I would accelerate. Changed out my tensioner and idler and sound went away. But I think it was just the fluid that had to wear off. No real help I know, sorry but maybe try the tensioner next, you can at least get your money back if that's not the problem
