one of my belts squeal when i start the car and every once in a while when the rpms fall when i shift in neutral when i am coasting or sitting at a light its a high pitched squeal i dont know what it could be i dont have power steering i have a/c though

 

ac belt, alternator belt. most likly alternator belt. its one 12mm to lossen it, and if u can get a pipe in there hit it with a hammer lightly to tighten, then tighten the bolt back up.

 

Sounds like your alternator belt is loose.

 

It's the alternator belt. I have EXACTLY the same problems at EXACTLY the same times you mentioned, I just haven't got around to fixing it yet... Tighten it up. That's what I'm going to do the next warm-ish day I get... I hate winter...

 

kk thanks yeah i just did a motor swap on it for a newer d16y7 so i guess i didnt tighten it up well enough is there any tips on how tight it should be could it be too tight and make that sound

 

just take the belts off one by one until the squeak is gone and thus replace...

 

yea well if its a new belt they usally have to work themselfs in, anwyas to answer your question ive heard of 1/2, 3/4 of an inch when you push on the belt is good.

 

same thing is happening on my gf's sisters HX, replaced the AC and PS belt and they are tight yet it still squeals on start up, not as long but it still makes a noise. wounder what else could be causing it

 

kk ill try that

 

Might be TOO tight then.

 

i had the same problerm
