My 1997 Mazda Protege 1.5 lx has eaten 2 alternator belts in the last week once i got it out of storage. Its been stored for about 10 months now. The belt would start squeaking as soon as the car starts and then sometimes the squeak would go away for a while. When i was driving, put the car in neutral, then back into 3rd or 4th, out of nowhere it would squeak real loud .
I changed the alternator, and right after the car started the alternator siezed and a new belt snapped.
Any ideas on what the problem is? Thanks.
Theres no pully, with the alternator you adjust the tension..
