what accessory/part is this? When looking at the front of the engine its the pulley in the lower left corner. Whatever this is is making noises and its getting soo hot that at night it glows. TIA. Its a '98 TA.

Re: what accessory/part is this? I never use my a/c. If its nice out, the tops come off. This happened after installing the throttle body bypass. Just to make sure, the whole thing doesn't glow, just the wheel in front.

Re: what accessory/part is this? hmmm?
Is the pulley you are refering to, driven by the assessories belt (6 rib) or the a/c belt (4 rib)? If it is that a/c compressor, maybe the clutch went out on it, or something. A bearing maybe? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
I don't know how the TB bypass could have to do with that. So I would rule that out.
