There has been alot of threads like this.
My car does it sometimes while warming up, although stops when it gets warmed up. Sometimes doesnt even do it at all.

Mine does it all the time, very annoying! haha guess ill start with the tensioner and idler pulley and see what happens..?

Did you do the auto adjustment on the pedal after completing the clutch change... And did you replace the TOB?

sjac9999 · January 30th, 2012, 08:15 PM

How do i do the auto adjust? yes we replaced the TOB and the Piolet barring... sound sounds like up front by the pulleys?

Power steering fluid is good, procharger oil is normal, the noise is there weather clutch is engaged or not, i did the self adjustment on the pedal still squealing like a hyena!! lol

My ps pump will squeal when it's cold outside. Once car warns up it goes away.

What brand TOB did you use and did you lube it?

dhicks7806 · January 31st, 2012, 10:41 AM

Take your belt off and spin all pulleys and idlers by hand to see if one is bound up (besides the crank). Also start the car with belt off and see if it still makes the noise. If it doesn't squeal without a belt, then obviously you have a belt/pulley issue.

Don't leave it running with the belt off haha!

sjac9999 · January 31st, 2012, 12:45 PM

i used the TOB that came with my clutch, its not commeing from the tranny, its def the font of my motor... can i start my car with the procharger off? seems like it would have bad air-fuel and wouldnt be healthy for my car...

sjac9999 · January 31st, 2012, 02:29 PM

How do i change my tensioner pulley?? it just bolted on? im changeing the whole assembly not just the pulley thanks!

jbenevides89 · January 31st, 2012, 03:19 PM

should just be 3 bolts i believe.

6686Mustang · January 31st, 2012, 03:25 PM

Here's what I do - remove the belt, get a string similar to a lawn mower cord - loop it around the idler pullies and pull - listen for the noise - just be careful pulling the string. It always works for me -

sjac9999 · February 4th, 2012, 07:12 PM

ok guys, I replaced my tensioner and both idler pulleys, still have the squeal!

86er · February 4th, 2012, 07:21 PM

you just dont listen do you? You should have taken the belt off first to see if it was those pullies. Now you got the problem still there and money spent on not fixing the problem.

Spray wd40 on each pulley one at a time until the noise goes away. Then replace what needs to be replaced

sjac9999 · February 4th, 2012, 08:04 PM

it only squeaks when i rev it up, dont thing itll be safe to rev up with the procharger not hooked up...

86er · February 4th, 2012, 08:11 PM

why not, no boost, no load. Whats it gonna do? If it doesnt see boost or a load, the fuel will be altered as so
