so i got my car back after my mechanic changed the timing belt but now i can hear this weird noise when the rpm's increase say when i push my gas pedal. It is a high pitched sound. actually my 5fse engine sounds like it had 200 horse power now smile.gif. Well guys any ideas about what could be wrong? maybe an overtighten belt. I know i should take my car back to my mechanic but i just want some opinions so if he lies to me and try to make some more on me saying..... ohhhh well this is wrong is gonna cost you now this much..i can reply with an intelligent answer. To be honest a just expended 450 dollars on this timing belt job and don't wanna expend more.

Thanks guys in advance.

a squeal is probably a loose belt. i'm guessing alternator or power steering. either way you should be able to tighten it up no problem.

I agree. You said that they replaced your alternator belt, well some belts (depending on the manufacturer) need to be re-tightened after they have been run awhile.
