i have a 96 acura 3.2 TL 6 cylinder engine. automatic. and i dont know if it really matters but people have asked me and yes it does have fuel injectors. w/e but yeah a pulley fell off. i dont know how but it decided to be a lazy SOB and just fall off (?) now i dont really know which one it is. (i havent asked my friends yet) but if you know the car it has (i think) 3 sets of pulleys. one goes left way two go right. the one that fell off is the outermost on the engine. it connects to the belt that goes to the alternator.

i've been having a hard time figuring out what this particular pulley is called and even worse trying to fix it. i've been told I gotta replace the whole pulley. my dad had never seen something like that happen. (and he's been working on cars for good 20 yrs) i forgot to ask him what pulley it is too. I just want a nice quick answer cause i dont talk to him much.

i've been told its the crankshaft pulley, the waterpump pulley, or a tensioner pulley. now i never had an interest in cars so...dont hate. but i just need to know what this part is called so I can get a new one. and if you know how to fix it u could tell me and that would be nice too. if you live in fort worth or not too far and you actually have the part i'm talkin about i'll be even more grateful if you'll sell it to me.

  1. Without a picture of the engine in its present state I will try and help you...

    The Crankshaft pulley is in the middle of the engine.

    The Alternator pulley is to the right looking at the vehicle from the passenger’s side fender.

    The A/C pulley is located just below the Alternator.

    The Power Steering pulley is located to the left looking at the vehicle from the passenger’s side fender.

    I have seen many vehicles throw any of these pulleys off at any given time.

    Just look at the belts and see which pulley has come off.

    As for why people are asking about the fuel injectors, I have no idea but yes your car does have fuel injectors..


  2. Here is the service info for a tl 3.2 liter.

    maybe this will help you!
