[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 16504016, member: 117234"] First of NO, not a chance would a binding bearing cause you idle issues. The belt would simply slip around it and most likely come off completely if that were to happen because the tensioner would no longer be able to perform its job correctly at that point. If you have concerns about the bearings of ANY of your idler pulleys take the belt off and hand check them for play and noise. Other than that put it out of your mind. Second, the fact that it feels like someone is putting the brakes on your car when coasting tells me you have more than idle issues. Based on you description I am not sure where to tell you to start other than with some data logs if you have that capability. [/QUOTE]
