Year and Trim: 1997 SE
I bought the car 5 years ago with a bent tensioner and is just now causing problems after a new belt was put on. The pulley is making an aweful squeak.

I have antifreeze leaking out of a little hole under the car on the drivers side, to the left of the tire. (facing the car) I hope it's just a hose. (Brand new water pump)

I also have a misfire on the 6th cylinder. Which I think is causing my car to shake a little. (might be the coil or plug)

What the heck am I suppose to do?? I feel likt this is going to be an expensive project. (And it all happened at once.)

Easy fix. Replace the tensioner, they're about $20. Parts puppies have them.

Radiator hose. Swap it out.

Pull the plug and see what it looks like. As to checking coils, check techinfo section on how to check them out. Got a check engine light? Any codes?

Nah, just sounds like a coupla hours of routine maintenance, and nothing really expensive.
