Hey, i got a question that i hope some of you can answer for me. Recently, the car has begun to make some squealing noises during idle, it doesn't seem to happen when the car is revved or on a load. Also, this doesn't happen when the car is cold, (mostly when warmed-up), before this happened i changed the distributor cap and rotor (but i don't think this could have caused it... everything is tite and secure). Initially i thought it was the belts, but the sound doesn't seem like its coming from that side of the car, it sounds more like from the middle to driver side. The car drives normal and without hesitation (i've been driving on it for the last few days)
here is a video clip of it, hopefully it isn't something bad... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyhYfFkFpW0 Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions! This post has been edited by A17322A: Apr 8, 2008 - 10:24 PM -------------------- 95 celica ST

the sound is there when the engine is warmed up, so is it safe to just keep driving it this way (ie: till the belt gets pretty worn) or should i replace this as soon as possible
thanks for any more info/help! -------------------- 95 celica ST
