SOURCE: IT IDLES HIGH AN WONT REV UP

Change all the filters (fuel and air). check and see if all your spark plugs are firing or just change them. if it is fuel injected make sure your injectors are working. Hope something there helps get it running good.

SOURCE: high revs

being a fuel injected engine , there are many reasons this could be happening.
from the top , lets check the Manifold Absolute Pressure (M.A.P.) sensor , as it is easiest.
Find the MAP sensor , it has a couple a wires and a vacuum tube going to it and is on the firewall or fender support under the bonnet.
Disconnect the wire harness from it (small plug with wires).
If the engines RPMs drop to normal , replace the MAP sensor.

2001 dodge 1500 V-6 will start run for alittle bit then won't idle unless you keep gas petel depressed?

This sounds like you have a sticky EGR valve. When it\'s idling rough, try tapping on it with an object such as the butt-end of a screwdriver and see if it suddenly smooths out. If so, you\'ve found your problem and you should consider changing the valve assembly. I hope this helps! :)

04 explorer 4.0l sputters and tries to start but won't

have you disconnected the battery for more than 5 mins before the trouble started, if so you have to reset the idle value by disconnecting the negative battery cable, put a shop towel between the battery post and cable, run a jumper wire from the negative battery cable to the positive cable ,which is still connected, leave it on there for 5 mins, remove jumper wire, reconnect negative cable to battery, when you start it, turn the key to the on position, wait for some of the lights by the speedometer start to go off, then start it

Serpentine belt squealing

Either the belt has stretched, or the tensioner is not keeping it tight.
Or it has oil on it.

2002 chevrolet pick up v6 excessive noise from belts replaced idler and tensioner ,no help power steering works fine ,altenator charging, a/c ok water pump ok rotated altenator, by hand when changing...

I would suspect the altenator, A/C pulley, or the belt. when you checked the altenator and a/c they have to turn smoothly with no play or roughness. If these checked out fine then I would check the belt, they do stretch.

Do i need a belt tensioner for the serpantine belt? I am replacing the alternator.

If the tensioner is still working fine, don't worry about it. These rarely give problems, and are easy to replace, so if for some reason it does go out down the road, it's no big deal. When you have the belt off, check the tensioner for play in the pulley. If there's no play, and you haven't been hearing squealing in the belt when you start the car up, your tensioner is fine as is.
