Whats up,
yea so for the past 2 days ive been getting this horrible squealing noise when i start my motor. I have a b16 in an excoupe.

It only happens during startup and varies from 1-3 seconds. the noise quickly goes away but it soudns ******* gross and its REALLY loud. I tried listening to where the noise might be coming from but its so loud i cant really tell. I doubt it has anything to do with my tranny cuz well when im startin up im not movin lol. its also not a pulley or anything cuz they all have good clearance... I dont know if this is relavent but i think my pilot bushing and/or throwout bearing needs to be replaced because if i ever happen to ride my clutch a little it squeals... anyhelp would be greatly greatly appreciated.. thanks

 

How does your belts look?

 

sounds like your altenator belt.just tighten it up

 

could also be your timing belt rubbing against the plastic timing belt cover.

 

thanks guys.. i really thought that was it too..but the belts are all clear and the pulleys arent touching anything.. but ill check it out anyway .. if you can think of anything else plz let me no!

 

it's possibly the A/c Idler pulley...that's what I have in mine. Honda belts never break(at least I've never seen it happen) so you prolly don't need to replace any of those, tighten if anything.

 

yea ill check it.. thanks again.. i doubt its caused by rubbing though.. it sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard times a million..
