Hey guys, i was coming off the highway and I stopped at a light. when i accelerated i heard some sound coming from the engine. the belt on the lower left side, the one that looks more like a fabric, teared up a bit. now the width of the belt there is like 1/2 ". about 4 inches of the belt shredded off. What belt is this, and can i drive it a mile or two to get to my mechanic?< src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" ="text/"></>< ="text/">_uacct = "UA-939292-41";

Should be OK to drive to your mechanic - carefully. I'm not sure about your '99, but on my '96 that belt drives the power steering pump.< src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" ="text/"></>< ="text/">_uacct = "UA-939292-41";

damn, and occasionally when i drive for a long time, park for like 20min, and turn the car back on it idles really bad and most of the time the car dies. I heard it might be the TPS , bad coils, or bad fuel injectors. I just hope that these repairs are cheap cause i'm selling this car soon even though i had it for two months.< src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" ="text/"></>< ="text/">_uacct = "UA-939292-41";
