What is the Idler Pulley all about?

An idler pulley is responsible for guiding and maintaining tension with the drive belt. The drive belt (also called the serpentine belt) connects the engine to various components of the vehicle (such as the air conditioning, power steering, and alternator). Power is transferred from the engine to these systems via the drive belt. The belt is held in place by the idler pulley, which keeps the tension on the drive belt and guides it.

Keep in mind:

When an idler pulley is replaced, it’s a good idea to replace the drive belt as well.

How it's done:

Inspect engine for noises
Inspect the drive belts
Spin the pulley
Replace the pulleys if found bad
Check for proper operations of the belt

Our recommendation:

Any time that drive belt maintenance is performed on your vehicle, the idler pulley should be examined. Idler pulleys usually wear out with time, so it is a safe precautionary procedure to have your idler pulley replaced during any drive belt servicing.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Idler Pulley?

Noises from the engine
Warning lights are on
Loss of power steering
Car is overheating

How important is this service?

The idler pulley is responsible for keeping your drive belt aligned, and for maintaining the tension in the drive belt. The drive belt is used to transfer power from the engine to the alternator, power steering, and air conditioning, among other systems. If the driver pulley starts to degrade, the drive belt will be less efficient, and your vehicle will be liable to overheat or run poorly. If the idler pulley fully breaks, the drive belt will no longer work at all, and your car won’t run.

Chevrolet C2500 Suburban V8-7.4L - Door does not lock or open - San Jose, California

Bacle inspired great confidence in his experience and skills. Not only did Bacle troubleshoot my door problem, he completed a full inspection of the car which was most appreciated. Going forward, I anticipate that all service on the Suburban will be done by Bacle through YourMechanic. Shawn Price

Chevrolet Cavalier L4-2.2L - Idler Pulley - Chicago, Illinois

James was willing to squeeze his schedule for me on early Thanksgiving morning to fix another root of the problem such as a damaged pulley with its bearings loose. He was very knowledgeable about cars and communicative when it came to normal conversation. He let me see what he was doing with the belt area and he was giving me automotive tips. I was satisfied he got the belt up and running without any problems at all. I recommend James to anyone else who doesn't want to pay for expensive service repairs at dealerships or automotive service repair chains.

About a month ago, check engine light came on. Had it read: P2423 Code. My bro in law asked if I had put in different gasoline than what I regularly use and I had. He suggested I let it go to empty and put in premium of the gas that I regularly use and see if the light turns off. After 2 hours on the premium gas, it turned off and hasn't turned back on (2 weeks now). Do you think I have anything to be concerned about? Should I have it rescanned to see if the code comes back up?
