My 1990 9000T B202 seems to be screeching loudly when throttle is applied after the car has been idling. It is definately occuring more often when cold, is definately coming from the accessory/serpentine belt, and is definately getting worse. I think it may be the harmonic balancer, i had the belt tensioner off about a month ago and it was in grand shape, so i pretty much rule that out. The pitch of the screech is constant, it is not dependent on engine speed, the sound only will stop if the car is briefly returned to idle and then revved again. Just curious on what these symptoms could mean, if it is the HB or possibly another accessory, i initially thought it was the steering pump but the noise is independent of steering movements. The water pump does seem to be weeping about a tablespoon of coolant per 50 miles, but there is no shaft play so and it doesnt quite seem to be at the location of the water pump. Possibly still could be, maybe your input could assist!
Thanks, Evan
