So i just bought a 1987 supra with a 92 7mgte engine, but i am a TOTAL noob with this car(actually any car)

it was running real good but then like 2 days ago i heard some weird noise, i know its not rod knock, so i look at the engine while its on and i saw that one of the belts im not really sure which one (but i know its not the power steering belt looks) like its coming loose as it moves. im scared to drive it cuz i feel like its gonna take a crap on me. can anyone tell me how to fix that? i went to a mechanic today and they tried to nail me with 90 bucks to even just look at the car, and believe me i am not ballin enough to pay 90 bucks for someone to tell me there is something wrong with me car. so if there are any kind hearted people that own a supra around anaheim or anywhere that will help this noob, he would really appreciate it. thanks

This was posted in the wrong section... This section is intended for site related problems only and only critical issues with the site are addressed by those who read this section. I'll move your thread to the correct forum. You want the MKIII specific section for this car. If you're not sure if you're in the right area read the description for the section you're in before posting there.

We'll need a description of the belt location or need to know what it's connected to in order to help. If need be post a picture.

$90 for a look under the hood??? I don't charge until the moment I have to lift a tool... Find another mechanic.
