Play in serpentine belt tensioner?

('99 Cavalier) The tensioner pulley is a little hard to reach, but I can
definitely feel some movement when I wiggle it with my fingers. I'm

Thanks,
George

Intermittent Power Loss in 1989 Chevy G10 Van with 305

I don't know what that engine has, so this may not apply. But, we had a
