Is there a quick fix for this.
1 Attachment(s)
So I heard a rattling grinding noise and opened my hood to find this the rubber washer like thing around the alternator bolt that I have a arrow pointing to in the picture has litterly flaked apart. I need to drive my wife to work tomorrow and then go on a trip Saturday. Is there anyway I can fix this quickly cause I cant order the part it seems. So with that thing broken the alternator has no tension.

those are the alternator suspension bushings.
I believe this is the right part, but you never mentioned your car year/model. Volvo HD Poly Engine Accessory Mounting Bushing AFTERMARKET 112309 1378153 463909P and you need like 4 of them for the alternator, the A/C compressor also uses them, I think. |

Figured it out on my own. What I did was wrap duct tape around it to make it thick enough then lube it with oil and force it in. Tension is tight and everything is holding together until I get the parts in.
New problem tho the car is idling very strange and hard. It does not stall but it is a chugging. |
check all 4 spark plugs, check the rotor and cap, check the wiring to the fuel injectors.
does it smooth out if you give it just a touch of gas? then it might be something other than the above. |

that relay provides the power to the fuel injectors (and on some late 940s, the whole fuel injection system). if it fails, your engine doesn't run at all.
so its still rough at 1000 rpm ? yeah, I'd check the spark plugs first, compare all 4, if one is different something is funky in that cylinder. ditto I'd check the distributor cap and rotor, look for carbon tracks from arcing. |

the other prime candidate of rough idle is tiny intake air leaks anywhere downstream from the MAF, through the throttle body and the head. also injector seals.
its just remotely possible that excess vibration from the shot alternator mount aggravated an impending crack in some rubber there. |

That makes sense I was actually looking for something like that and found a loose clamp which i tightned but that did not do much sadly.

Figured out that the alternator tensioner bracket snapped and was causing no tension on the belt.
Now it goes from 2k to almost stall like 0 rpms and then jumps back up when stopped or at lights in any gear and park and neutral. I feel like I cliped something with the alternator or something in that area cause both times I worked on the alternator it either started or got worse. |

Alternator is fixed now trying to figure out the idle thing. The first time I fixed the alternator about 6 months ago the idle thing started in park and neutral it would go to 2k and drop to 1 then do it over and over. Only thing would stop it would be putting it in gear.

I also watched it today it does in fact smooth out at 1k rpms if I hold it there with the accelerator.

Take a compression test. This will show if there is a serious problem like a head gasket or a burned valve. If all is well, then the issue is tune up related one, may be a vacuum leak etc.

What is that black cone thing there and is the cable suppose to be super loose out of it?
|
cruise control actuator, I think.

Also is the ac belt the same belt as the alternator
|
belts are wear items, not something you want to get from a junkyard. if you bring the broken belt into a NAPA or similar Auto Parts store, they should be able to match it up. ther'es probably numbers printed on the belt that indicate its size and/or brand/part number.
you NEED the fan or your engine will overheat in slow traffic. |
