Belt configuration I have a 1997 grand prix that i can not find a belt configuration for the serpentine belt. The engine is a 3.8 liter series 2 (not supercharged).

This must be a 3.8 liter engine. They have 2 plastic elbows that always break they run threw the alternator mounting bracket. #1 disconnect battery #2 remove serpentine belt by unloading tensioner . #3 remove alternator and mounting bracket this needs to be pried away from cylinder head remove broken pieces and clean passage bores install new elbows with some vasoline on o-rings and align then reassemble. one elbow comes from intake manifold both sides are the same size the other comes from timing cover near water pump the lager side goes into timing cover.

Follow the serpentine belt on the front of the engine. One of the accessories powered by the belt will be the power steering pump, It will have a twist off cap with a dipstick or a sight window to show the power steering fluid level. Don't overfill the reservoir.

Get on autozone website. Put in all your data and they will tell you the exact belt. Additionally just take old belt and they will match it

A belt diagram for a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix, what engine? i will check it out, okay the 1997 grand prix came with a 3.1 or 3.8 engine.


I will send a diagram for both engines, hope this is helpful, good day.

All gm V-6 engines have chains except for the older 3.4 liter DOHC engines.

There are 2 PDF documents above the photo. The first gives you theRouting guide for the vehicle/engine - 6-24 - on pages 103/104 of the PDF doc and the second document ( Illustration PDF) gives you the belt routing diagram for 6-24.

Hope this gives you what you need.

look on the face of the tensioner for a 3/8" square hole and insert a 3/8"
ratchet and pull/push to rotate releasing tension, grab hold of belt
and slid off, careful can take a finger tip off easily and note routing.

The belt installation diagram is under the hood, look on the shock tower or over the radiator next to the Federal emissions certification sticker.
