1994 tracer serpentine belt routing Sign In

During a NY State yearly inspection, the mechanic told my mother in law that her serpentine belt was on wrong. At the time the car was running fine but as strange as it seems she let him change the routing. After he changed the routing. the car started running hot. She went back, he changed it again. now it doesn't get hot but the power steering doesn't work. There is no schematic or routing diagram that I can find on the car or in the engine compartment. If anyone can provide a routing diagram I would appreciate it. The car is a 1994 Mercury Tracer, Trio. The top of the engine says 1.9 SEFI Ford.

Thanks,

Frank and DonnaFrownFrown

Re: 1994 tracer serpentine belt routing Sign In

did he replace the belt with a different one??? its kinda hard to vary from the proper routing. those belts dont have a whole lot of slack to make out your own belt pattern.

but from what your saying.........the belt was routed properly before she brought it in. the first time he "fixed" it he routed the belt the opposite way on the water pump thus making it spin the wrong direction and causing the over heat.

the second time he corrected the water pump but some how screwed it up on the power steering pulley which is pretty hard since almost all power steering pulleys ive delt with are v-groove pulleys and only go on one way.

look in the cars owners manual. it will have a schematic for the different engine options

  DAYCO Products Catalog Belt Routing Diagram
That is listed for the 1.9 with A/C. "CS" means the crankshaft pulley,

He has the smooth side of the belt facing the grooved pulley, definately wrong but the power steering pulley is turning, just probably in the wrong direction. It's the same belt that has been on the car for years.

Thanks Tom,

It's dark now. I will take a look tomorrow. Can you tell me which one is the water pump.

Hmmm? In the post by way2old the top pic of belt routing shows 6 pulleys involved. I'll guess the water pump is the largest one shown with nuts towards top right.

Aren't tech manuals special?

Re: 1994 tracer serpentine belt routing Sign In

The water pump is driven by the timing belt.

Now the gangs all here!

Here’s another diagram identifying the pulleys.

Jim’s right about the water pump being timing belt driven but it doesn’t explain why the engine ran hot?
Not that it matters anymore; I’m just curious as to why.

Where’s Dave & the Doc; it’s their turn to chime in on this.
