I've been trying to ignore the tensor pulley assembly and the alternator for a while now since I wasn't driving much. However, I began to really feel it when the car would attempt to accelerate, kind of hesitated... a lot. Today I went out and bought a brand new alternator. I also bought a new tensor pulley, but I'm unable to get the old on off.. oh well.
Here are some pictures of what the old alternator looks like. I'll have pictures of what it looks like from the bay area tomorrow.
^ Old alternator v. the new one (looks just like the one on the box, but probably has more of a shine to it)
^ looks fried to me.
^ try spinning the pulley. it sounds like something died.
Bought it from Pep Boys for 129.99 (new) + tax + 55$ core fee. Going to return the old one tomorrow and get my 55$ back. Might as well return the pulley as well unless someone knows how to get the old one off. I attempted to ordered a new assembly from Rockauto, but they called me today and said I wouldn't be able to get the part until the end of January. Meh.
