i have a whistling/metal grinding coming from under the hood...its belt driven for sure almost sounds like a rubbing ac compressor clutch....but its winter and i havent used ac in forever can it just randomly go bad or is it something else....its real loud high pitched squealing/grinding noise it annoys the hell out of me it also sometimes goes away when i rev the engine...any ideas?

More than likley it is one of you're pulleys. You'll justhave to listen real close to find out. Ow else wait a little longer and usually the pulley will eventually fall off off the bearing

oh ok well i removed my idler and tensioner pulley a little bit ago to get the coil bracket off maybe i over tightened them thats prob it right? i prob over torqued them and ruined the bearing....

i think i found the culprit its the bigger of the two idler pulleys on the sc belt acc it has a bunch of play in and out and it squeaks too im assuming the pulleys are not supposed to have that much play so i hope its cheap and an easy fix...looks super simple but it is a torx bit so you never know lol

They shouldn't have any play at all IMO
That is mostly likely your problem

sounds like the accessories tensioner!

its definately the 3.5 inch idler pulley its a shytty piece of plastic with a bearing the pulley if sliding off the bearring and spinning in a warped motion and squealing...
