I have a 98 civic si (CAN) and when I started it today there was a loud skreetching noise and smoke comming from around the alternator is my alternator shot or do I need a new belt ????
Belt, for sure. It may have gotten worn a little and was too lose to grip the pulley and just kept slipping. Or it could have been wet, and just kept slipping on the pulley grooves.
