I'M A GIRL AND DON'T KNOW SH*T ABOUT CARS, SO I'M JUST GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS THE BEST I CAN, OKAY? DON'T MAKE FUN!
I drive a '93 Pontiac Grand Am SE (4-cylinder)
Two weeks ago, I had the heater core replaced and since, the car has ran fine. Today I was driving home (didn't have the car running for more than ten min) and I noticed a horrible burning rubber smell, which I thought could have been the car beside me, but it wasn't. I noticed the AC was making a weird hissing sound and the cold air stopped coming out. Keep in mind, the tempature guage never got even close to hot. Whenever I turned the AC off, the sound went away. I pulled up in the driveway, shut the car off, popped the hood and white smoke was coming out. The smoke was coming from that black belt that wraps around the side of the ulternator. It continued to smoke and stink 'til the belt just popped right off. My hubby looked at it & said the "tension pulley and the ulternator is fine."
So, what's wrong then?
