Quote:On inspection the compressor pulley is not aligned with the lower pulleys. It looks like the garage overtightened the belt or bent something?? What should I look for to get that sorted?
Possible it was over-tightend but may be one or both of the idler pulley bearings have failed. Cant think what would be out of line.
Quote:NEXT issue is the main one.... over revving to 2100 rpm ALL the time. Now this only started after the AC belt issue above. Has the AC system enabled something to increase revs that is now stuck??

I’m stuck, and am not sure where to look first......
Odd, are you sure it's not just old bits of belt stopping the return on the throttle spool thingy, or bits elsewhere. Cant see re-gassing the A/C would affect the revs in any other way. I think it's more likely to be belt related myself.
Quote:Could the trip reset have broken something inside the binnacle?
The lambda box connection looks good as does the angle drive at the wheel.
I hope it’s not the angle drive.....
Possible but doubtful
Try disconnecting the input cable from he lambda box, with the front wheel jacked up spin it and see if it (the cable) turns freely.
