I dont even remember there being a ground wire coming from the alt...i know i had to plug in stuff but idk about there being a ground wire...

Im prety positive that i just didnt tighten the belt enough but not 100% sure you know? the more i think about it the more i think that my dad and i didnt tighten it enough so it probably slipped loose by now.

just jack up the drivers side, turn the wheel to harsh right turn and crawl under alittle and push on the belt going to the alternator.... then you know if its to loose or its alright, it might just be you need a new belt if its to old/bad but if thats the case theres a good chance your other belts need replaced as well like the timing belt as well
new belts are always cheap insurance if you can do the work yourself!
only thing is you have to remove the power steering belt and ac belt to get to the alt belt... i dont know why honda couldnt just use 1 belt for all 3 makes it more of a pita!

"Good news everyone..." Haha man i love Futurama
I made a cl acount and posted my tailights up for trade for stock ones so hopefully someone will bite and trade me straight up for a clean set of stock tails

Didnt get time tonight to check the belt because it was pouring cats and dogs out but it wont take long so that should get done on Wednesday since i work tomorrow night. But it shouldnt take long though...like 10 to 15 mins if that ha

Ugh no bueno...adjusting the alt belt didnt help but it looks prety worn out so i need to get new belts and replace that. Not to mention that my valves are still tapping prety bad.

I think that i can do the 3 belts but ima have to have the valve adjustment done somewhere else. Sooo ima have to do the belts sometime soon but not gonna worry about it too much since they arent in too bad of shape.

Oh and no bites on the tails yet DAMN! lol

Young one it's time for some suspension! Get some S-Techs like me. I can't afford quality suspension being in college and all, they I got mine shipped for $166!
