I've got a tweety bird under my hood [Mad] .

How would I know if it's my tensioner making the noise or an underdrive pulley that isn't fully seated????

Only tweety bird sound that i know thats common with the 94-95's is a throwout bearing on a clutch going out. I know someone on the board with a 99+ would know a lot more.

if you think it's a pulley get a can of wd40 and try spraying them one at a time. If it gets quiet you've prbably found the issue.

With the car running check your TA and see if u can see it wobbling. I checked by taking a flashlight and shinning it thru the TA wheel and sensor and watch for any out of the ordinary movement.

If the WD-40 trick doesnt work...take a piece of PVC pipe, or some other tubing like that and stick it right next to the pulley. It amplifies the sound and you should be able to tell which one is squeaking.
