abnormal extremely loud screeching problem
I just got my timing belt replaced on my 1998 civic EX last week, and within this week, I experienced a loud screeching coming from my engine 3 times. When the screeching happens and I gas it a little bit, the screeching sound flutters, and when I gas enough in neutral or actually drive in 1st gear, the sound disappears. I was told that it can be my alternator belt, but is there any way to check for sure? or does it sound like a poor timing belt job? Thanks
Oh yeah, not sure if it matters, but the car has 100k miles on it.

Never really heard of a t-belt screeching.(t-belts do not slip, otherwise you would have a catastrophic engine failure lol) But it sounds like one of your accessory belts are slipping. Maybe one of your belts were not tightened enough after the t-belt was put on.

It only makes a squeaking noise when I'm shifting gears, especially in 1st. When I shift and go, I hear a minor noise that sounds like something is loose (at least from what I can recall) for about 1-2 seconds or so and then it stops. The extremely loud noise hasn't happened again ever since my last post. Is it dangerous to be driving like this?
