So yesterday I was driving and as the car was stopped i smelled something burning.. I open up the hood and realized that the Pulley snaped.. I have no idea what pulley this is and Im hoping someone can tell me..
Its the top pulley on the left side if your facing the car.
The belt ending up just spinning on the rod itself and all that black stuff everywhere is burnt plastic from the pulley..
Thanks guys!!

Can you spot the pulley here? It's probably the idler pulley.

idler pulley,
its only a guide pulley,
so hopefully nothing other than belt (and maybe the belt) was damaged. Should be easy to replace!
