is my new serpentine belt supposed to be smoking?
i barely installed it, and to my knowledge i did it the right way, however there is a slight amount of smoke coming out of it, because the rubbers are touching am i doing it wrong?\

Do you have the diagram for your engine? If not, find one and follow it exactly as something may be out of alignment.

Obviously its not supposed to smoke, make sure it's all lined up and that its not rubbing anything. Also check seized pulleys and that its routed correctly.

[ainokea]

Yes, check for a seized pulley.I forgot about that.

is it possible to adjust the tensioner? if so how?

I had this problem once and it turned out that the tensioner pulley was bad so the belt was sliding across it at an angle. Don't know if that'd be your problem but its worth checking.
