My 2002 gas CC was sluggish to start, especially cold, and I noticed the generator belt was loose.

I loosened the bolt in the back of the generator (1/2" open end wrench, socket and ratchet) and also loosened the adjustment bolt (1/2 open end wrench, socket and ratchet).

Then I pushed the generator (not too hard) from the front of the car rotating it slightly to the rear and tightening the belt.

Holding it there, with help, I retightened both bolts, starting with the adjustment bolt.

Now, it fires up immediately, cold or otherwise.

Cheap, easy, and problem solved. I will need a new generator belt soon though. The old one is somewhat worn and I don't want to be left stranded by a broken belt.
