theres a bolt next to the auto tensioner that lets you adjust it, however that bolt (i think its an allen) is covered up along with the tensioner by the lower timing belt cover. You can not get that cover off without taking off the lower pulley and ps alt a/c belts.
If its loose from just driving you should have the belt and tensioner replaced, but if its loose because you where turning the motor backwards manually, then thats normall, and tunring the motor manually a few turns the right way will tighten it back up.
