It didnt work, replaced the tensioner and the same problem, also when i turn the wheel also. The belt is sliding side to side when i give it gas. After putting the belt on it actually started to break. Anything else i could try. When i made the belt tight with the other pulley sliding on top it stopped squealing and sliding how can i make the belt tighter?

That's not good if it's sliding side to side. It means that there is a misalignment somewhere. Check to make sure all pully are tight and check all hardware that holds the alternator, P/S, A/C.

Check to see if your Crank pulley is still ok, at years of wear and tear the part that holds the belt will just break. I had the same problem happen twice, the last time I just bought a new one just to avoid the headaches.

Dealer part, either toyota or lexus. it's not gonna be cheap! it's within the 3-400 dollar range, I don't remember the exact amount. Or maybe you could find a good one on ebay/craigslist.
