changed timing belt and water pump and now car SQUEAKS when i start it?
Shop changed my timing belt and water pump recently. Now when I start the car, it squeaks right after the car cranks for like a second or two. What could be wrong? Also the car have a cel 54 which is crank fluctuation sensor. I'm going to take it back to the shop soon, I just want to know so I can tell them exactly what they did wrong.

do you have ac? if so the idler pully that also tensions the belt might have a bad bearing or the washer is in the wrong spot. also could be the water pump, tensioner, ect......

You have to remove the CKF when doing a t-belt job - so either they didn't re-install it, installed it and forgot to plug it in OR installed it, plugged it in and it ripped out because they didn't snake the wiring harness back into the timing belt cover and allowed the alternator belt to snag the harness.
As for the squeak - sounds like a belt is too tight (timing belt or the accesory belts). If it were too loose, it'd squeal for a second until it heated up enough to 'bite'. If it were really loose, then it'd just squeal non-stop.
