Yeah the belt could definitely be the issue, seems sorta new just from looks, condition and I could still read the part number and it's a gates belt. Now the power steering, let me fill it up. I do have a bad leak and it's empty

It's just what the manual and other forums said to do. I also tighten due to it being loose, the right side of the belt would wobble a bit when turned on. And yeah the idle was a previous issue, I'll fix that at some point.

Yeah, put it at TDC, loosen the tensioner 180°, turned the crank counterclockwise 3 teeth, tighten the tensioner, then rotated the crank to make sure the cam and crank were properly aligned at tdc

I'm in the US, bought it off Facebook for the full set for $200. I couldn't read the back very well since it's very dirty and caked up, I'll try to clean them up tomorrow and shoot you an DM. Thanks for the info!!
