Is your "service engine soon" light on? Do you have engough oil in the engine? Why do you suspect a valve?

I seriously doubt it's a belt problem, but you can visually and physically inspect the belt at the front of the engine. It is a serpentine belt that is around 1" thick. It should not be frayed and should be fairly tight.
