Well,
it occurs during mild acceleration, and sometimes while stopped in drive(stoplights)...

It sounded like a belt squeal, so I changed the belt, yet still the squeal lives on.... Any ideas?

O yea, It is on the 'bird..

Your belt tensioner's most likely getting ready to quit on ya, and that's a dealer only item, but not that expensive.

And as always....I COULD be wrong.

 

Could be your water pump too. Mine did that before it gave up the ghost.

 

i had that once...then it started eating belts, turned out to be a cracked bracket for the power steering...might wanna check thems brackets...

 

WD40 works wonders if it is not the belt but is the pully rusting.

Thanks for the help so far, I'll check it out tonight...

Any ideas on how I can actually check the tension on the tensioner? How can I tell if it is bad? (other than just buy a new one...)

Thanks!
