Hello –

To better assist you please tell me the model of your vehicle. Is it a AWD or FWD, and is it just a Tempo or a GL or LX model. Also the engine size in liter and is the engine a DSL, CFI or HSC?

Hello - fazerknight Since you didn't provide the engine size in liter, I went ahead and looked at the 2.3L CFI. Wow, this is the first one I have seen that there isn't any detailed directions. I even looked in two separate manuals. There is some info on the routing of the belt pic that I have attached. So if you have any questions on it then we are going to have to discuss it and I can try to assist you with that. It looks basically like the old type belts that you use a bar or large screwdriver and stretch the belt unlike the other models with belt tensioner that are spring loaded.
