Re: problems with pulleys (Archidictus)
First smack your friend in the head for telling you to spray wd40 on your belts. Then check your accessories - alternator, power steering pump and ac compressor (if you have power steering and ac). It sounds like one of them froze up while the car sat. Figure out which one and replace it.

AC compressor may have seized. Pull off the belt and see if you can turn the compressor by hand.

the compressor would have to be engaged for that to make a difference...

I got cha. It's just something that I've heard of happening.
OP: Why not replace your belts & go from there? I can't imagine an alt & AC belt being more than $20-30 to replace them.
Then have your alternator checked at autozone or a place like that.

get new belts because the WD40 is gonna fugg up your old ones.
Screaching, eh. If you're sure that none of your belt driven accessories are making the noise check the timing belt tensioner.
