If the (unknown) Honda is a first generation CR-V, it might be the idler
pulley for the AC. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/tsb/crv/x00-003e.pdf

I've replaced two of them.

Check the power steering belt tension and alternator belt tension.

The belt may be glazed and needing replacement.
Perhaps better to change it and not risk it breaking at a bad time.
(when is a "good" time for a belt to break??? ) Wink

As I turn into my driveway on a warm spring day when the wife's car is
there so I can drive to the dealer for a replacement and the dealer is
open and has the correct part in stock and I have the right tools and a
good picture in the instruction manual and I'm not hung over from the
night before.
Ahh! Those were good times! bob
