I know it was a dumb question- but i have been tightening them, with no change..

My 03- mp5 has a problem with the belts- they squeel horribly when first starting thr engine, and frequently when drivi.g. the belts which are only about 3 months old seem tight..any ideas?

I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me with this issue.. your advice and suggestions helped me greatly! l

Hey guys- thanks for all of the help! In the process of reinstalling my egr after cleaning it.. it was packed tight! Will post after I run it.. thanks again! In the near future, ill be asking for input on customizing and performance..

Ok.. well how can I test to verify which is the problem?

Already checked it- good shape. Atf first, it threw a misfire code. That's why I changed the parts I did. After I changed the ignition parts, I cleared the computer, and it has run horribly ever since..

Thanks! Can I just clean the old one? Is there any way to check it to verify?

I have a 2003 protege 5, have been having problems with it idling rough and dying while at stops..I just did a tuneup- new plugs, wires, coils, air filter. Now its running horrible.. I've even re-set the computer. Now when it is idling below 1100 rpm, it idles very rough and dies everytime...
