its called a serpentine belt. It will not affect how well the car cranks, in fact it will simply slip and squeel if its loose. Replace it if it has more than 30K miles on it. If your car is cranking funny have you
Installed a new fuel filter?
Changed the plugs?
Checked the plug wires? changed them?
Check the coil packs? changed them?
How's the air filter?
Ran any fuel injector cleaner through it lately?

I would def get a new belt. I got a Gates, wayyyyyyyy stronger than that gatorback autozone crap. It takes like literaly two minites to do it yourself if you have something to hold down the tension bar thingyComment
