I need your opinions and advice. I have a 1994 Ford Taurus 3.8L V6 with
138,000 miles on it. I was driving it today and I started smelling a burning odor (like when some applies the brakes really really hard - graphite type odor). I pulled over and there was some smoke coming from the ac compressor area. I got the car home, and the ac pulley seems wobbly and is making a clunking noise.The serpentine belt has a crack in it that I discovered after the smell and seeing the smoke. The car doesn't smoke if I keep the heater and/or ac off. But the ac pulley is definitely wobbling and is making a noise clunking noise.
Do you think it is the ac compressor or the clutch? Would it be better just to have the ac compressor pulled and have a motormite ac bypass pulley installed with a new belt?
