I have a 1999 Toyota Solara SLE V6. Car was running fine. Stopped at a store and when I returned to the car, it did start but there was a very loud squealing noise and I could smell something burning. When releasing my foot off of the gas, the car stalled. I had someone restart the car for me and I could see that the burning smell/smoke was coming from an enclosed rounded part on the left side of the engine just above the alternator belt. Can you please give me an idea of what this could be and how much it might cost to repair??

One of the belt driven component has seized up. Remove the belt to determine which one. The A/C compressor is highly suspect. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. jillmccorm New User Apr 16, 2011, 3:16 PM Post #3 of 4 (3359 views) Re: 1999 Toyota Solara squealing and "burning" Sign In Thank you so much. Looks like you are absolutley right. Two more questions: Is there a quick fix for this so that I can drive the car until I can get repaired? Do you know what I will need to have replaced and the approximate cost of the repair. I live in Florida.

Whatever it is will have to be repaired to drive it because one belt drives everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
