the car screeches and im not sure why that is... its every once in a while usually when its a cold start it'll go off then later stop. I know for sure its one of the belts, so does this seems like a certain belt needs to be replaced?

Its your belts.
Most likely your timing belt but it could very well be your PS/AC belt. -
Tighten your accessory belt or its worn. If your timing belt is screeching you got problems.

The timing belt will NEVER screech... if it does that, it's about to snap. The timing belt is pulled by a gear. The accessory belts are pulled by smooth pulleys. The pulleys are the cause for the screeching, since improper tension will cause the belt to slip.Originally posted by Ralphie
Belt slippage can be due to belts that are too loose or too tight. Cold belts squeal more than warm belts, since the rubber expands and gets tackier (for the lack of a better word) when it gets hot.
Replace all visible belts. The timing belt should probably be replaced as well, but that is guaranteed to be a totally unrelated thing to this issue.

Might it have to be with the heater? I get a similar screeching noise when the heater is on but when I turn it off, its gone.

No way your Tbelt could make a noise like that since it has teeth
Probably slipping on the PS pumpwat?Comment

Is your AC on? Even if you have it set to full heat, and the AC is on, it kicks the AC compressor on the remove moisture from the air (defogger), thus the squealing, most likely.Originally posted by Saysana13bOriginally posted by sweet91accordComment

My alternator belt did it for a while whenever I started the car when it was cold.
As mentioned, check you PS and ALT belts to make sure they are not loose or worn.
As soon as I tightened my alternator belt the sound went away.
T-belts squeak?
