Re: Where is the tension pully on a 1993 ford taurus 3.0...
There is no spring tensioner on some of the 3.0 engines. See instructions below. I will paste a pic on the version that DOES have a tensioner at the bottom of this post.
3.0L Engine-Except SHO
ALTERNATOR BELT WITHOUT AUTOMATIC TENSIONER
- Loosen the adjusting arm and pivot bolts.
- Turn the alternator belt adjusting screw counterclockwise until the old belt can be removed.
- Remove the belt.
To install:
- Install the new belt over the pulleys. Check that all the V-grooves make proper contact with the pulleys.
- Adjust the belt tension, then tighten the adjusting arm and pivot bolts.
3.0L SHO Engine
ALTERNATOR BELT
See Figure 2
- Loosen the nut in the center of the idler pulley.
- Loosen the idler adjusting screw until the old belt can be removed, then remove the belt.
To install:
- Install the new belt over the pulleys in proper contact with the pulleys.
- Adjust the new belt to specifications as follows: Turn the idler pulley nut to the right to tighten the belt to a specification of 220-265 lbs. (980-1180 N). Torque the idler pulley nut to 25-37 ft. lbs. (34-50 Nm).
POWER STEERING AND AIR CONDITIONING BELT
See Figure 2
- Remove the alternator belt.
- Loosen the nut on the tensioner pulley.
- Turn the belt adjusting screw on the tensioner counterclockwise until the belt can be removed, then remove the belt.
To install:
- Position the new belt over the proper pulleys, making sure the V-grooves are properly seated.
- Install the alternator belt.
- Adjust the power steering and air conditioning belt to a specification of 154-198 lbs. (690-980 N) with a belt tension gauge.
- Adjust the alternator belt.
3.0L Engine (Except SHO) and 3.8L Engine
VEHICLES THROUGH 1993 WITH AUTOMATIC TENSIONER
See Figures 4 and 5
- Insert a 1 / 2 in. breaker bar into the square hole in the tensioner.
On the 3.8L engine, the tensioner has a1/2in. square hole cast into the rear of the tension arm directly behind the pulley. On the 3.0L engine, the1/2in. square hole is cast into the spring housing on the front of the tensioner.
- Rotate the tensioner clockwise and remove the belt.
Fig. Fig. 5: 3.8L belt schematic-1993 shown
To install:
- Install the drive belt over all the pulleys, except for the alternator pulley on the 3.0L engine for vehicles through 1992, or the idler pulley for 1993 3.0L vehicles.
- Rotate tensioner counterclockwise and install the belt over the alternator pulley. Make sure that all the V-grooves make proper contact with the pulleys.
- On the 3.0L engine, install the alternator belt for vehicles through 1992.
- For 1993 3.0L vehicles, install the drive belt over the idler pulley.
