Ha ha, I meant the manifold bolts. I already checked them a few days of driving later, but was thinking maybe some slight leak was causing that shaky needle? I've gotta clean the IAC too, seen that seem to help with that kind of slightly rough idle on here.

How do you set tension? This KR2 gauge always makes it right
Dayco makes replacement idler pulleys, they will get rid of some squeaking, just general improvement if you haven't ever replaced them
Also get a 3-foot section of 1/2" hose and stick one end in your ear while moving the other around in the engine bay. Works extremely well for high-pitched chirps and whines and squeaks.

Here's why.
One thing you may want to consider, is removing/eliminating the heater control valve, if you haven't already. '96 down have the HCV, '97 up the Factory eliminated it.
During the warm months, with a HCV, (temp lever/**** never moved off cold) coolant sits and stagnates inside the heater core.....There's no fresh coolant/corrosion protection circulation through the heater core.
With the HCV removed/eliminated, coolant/corrosion protection flows through the heater core constantly when the motor is running, regardless of where the temp lever/**** is set.
Also, you don't have to remember to turn/slide the heat lever/**** when flushing/re-filling the cooling system because coolant is flowing to/through the heater core when the motor is running and the HCV is absent.
Be sure to plug/cap the small vacuum hose when eliminating the HCV.
