[86accordlx]

Today the my 1992 accord lx, upon start up i heard shreak sound and then it idles fine ?

how could i get rid of the shreak sound on start up , what could it be ?

if i reset ecu would that works ? or what could this be ?

[xczechboyx]

Does it sounds like the belts?

[86accordlx]

i don't believe it's the belts, unless it would only happen for second and go away..... sound like something else ?

any other idea ? what could cause a shreak sound on start up ?

Gonna have to get a liiiiiiiitle more specific with this 'shreak' sound.

with the explanation of it above, my guess would be that there was a mouse in the belts.

[pretty_ricky302]

i say ur belt

[86accordlx]

okay, sound like you may have a solution for my problem.

when the key was turned over, a sound in the engine bay made a shreak sound, like distibutor, or something.

let me know this, have you heard of a belt squealing at time of start up and then goes away, wouldn't it sqeal continuously ??????

this sqeal is for a second....?

okay guys i am going to open the hood and try to locate where the noise is coming from... my girlfriend has the car, i don't have it in my possesion at moment.

thanks, i'll be back if any ??? i'll post a video clip with sound so you can hear it.

i'll back

alternator belt ? yah it could be.. just for a split second it make the sound..

i guess it needs tightening ?

i'll take look at it, thanks guys

[aero]

yeah, a belt would make a squealing JUST at startup... from the jerk of it kicking on and being too loose.

If it gets more and more loose, then it can squeal all the time aswell.

[OwninUSince1902]

yea you probably just need to tighten the tension in your belts.

[big_lude]

im gonna have to say its your alt belt also. had the same prob once. i figured that it may be because of the initial jerk of the motor turning over or you may have a weak battery and the alt. is going buck at first to charge the battery after start.

As everyone said its the belt. If it squeals then goes away tighten it and it should solve that problem. Especially if you put on new belts you need to retighten it after driving another 100 miles so it wont squeak.

I'm going to say like others and say belt as the first , but as a second possiblity is a hanging starter, they can make a hellacious noise if they hang for a second on the flywheel after the car starts.
