Unhappy Belt burns when a/c is turned on???

When I turn my a/c on the belt starts to smoke. I know it is a little low on freon but would that be the problem? It's a 95 3.4 V6....

I think the only way the belt would smoke is if its slipping. The belt being worn out or not on tight enough would be the easiest answers. Hopefully it isn't more serious, like the a/c compressor starting to seize up, or something like that.

Carrie, Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wive's, husbands, girlfirends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.



oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

This. Belt and tensioner is a good start. Does the compressor turn when you turn the A/C on
