1984 Fiero w/ AC -- Serpentine Squeal!

Hello,

Just recently, whenever I turn my car on, there is a HUGE unrelenting squeal coming from what I believe to be the serpentine belt. In fact, when I open my hood, I see smoke coming from that belt, precisely at the pulley section. When I checked the belt, it still has those grooves on it and still looks pretty darn new, so I'm wondering what the problem may be, I suspect it's the pulley.

Any ideas on what it may be and how I should approach this? I've been googling Fiero serpentine belt issues but I haven't come across any good searches.

Hello,

I'm sure it's a 1984 Fiero with the 2.5 L engine, but it's the one that has the A/C unit included. I thought it was the serpentine belt. This is the belt that goes from my alternator pulley to another pulley. This belt is fairly visible and is to the right of the engine! Oh... The Accessory belt? It must be that!

I sprayed my electronic grease killer spray -- this was the recommended product for dealing with belt squeals at NSAP -- and there are no squeals any longer.

Thanks Patrick, upon closer inspection I saw that the V belt was less than stellar shape. After having that replaced, all is well now.
