Sounds like you may have dropped a clip down the lower intake manifold. Worst case.

Best case, a bearing is going dry on the adjuster guide pulley.

It's the idle pulley ... between the alternator and PS pump.

Yes, mine is making a loud squeaking/metalic grind noise from that pulley. Does the bearing have to be replaced or what? I've lubricated it 3 times in one day only to have the noise keep coming back. The noise is coming from the top pulley on that side.
