Answers:

1997 Chevy Lumina Service Engine Soo Light is on. Can anybody tell me what the cause might be??

your tension pulley is basically a spring loaded pulley that keeps constantly adjusted pressure(not to tight not to loose) on the serpentine belt. To change it yourself you better invest in a Chilton or Haynes repair manual for that year and make car. It will give you a step by step guide though the process from start to finish and cost under 20 bucks, a small price compared to a shop.
The tension pulley also has a set of arrows on it to show belt wear. good luck

most that I have encountered only have one bolt and are not that hard to change. but getting the belt back on right takes a patience

I have an E Scooter made in China. Where can I buy parts for repairs.?

Its what holds tension on the main drive belt(which drives the water pump, alternator, power steering pump) and to replace it you have to remove the belt and then remove whatever is in the way of the bolts on the tensioner. Usually this requires removal of the power steering pump or the alternator. The tensioner is help usually by 3-4 bolts.

What happens to a car with too much oil in the engine?

The tension pull is the a pull that keeps force on you serpentine belt. and as far as replacing it If I was you I would just take it to some were and have them do it because if you don't know what it is you are going to have a hard time fixing it. and it should not even cost that much any way. but if you need to do it just get a book and go thought the steps.
