Hi I have a ?99 Nissan Pathfinder. Couple of weeks ago it started making whistling noises when in idle. I replaced my drive belts and narrowed it down to my A/C belt. When I start the car without the A/C belt the noise is gone. When I put the belt on and tighten the idler pulley the noise comes back. And I think it gets louder the more tension I put on the belt. I went out and got an idler pulley from the dealer ($50!!!). Replaced it but the noise is still there. Any ideas? What else can cause that? I?m thinking about removing the A/C belt until summer, since I won?t need a/c here in Minnesota for the next several months. Will this disable something else in the truck or is the AC pretty much the only thing that will not function. By the way, a/c works fine right now. Thanks for any help / feedback
