    Ignition Squeals

    Ever since I got my car serviced for a new timing belt, cam, and a crank seal a while ago my car starts squealing when i start it...its not everytime i start it but it happens enough. (usually at the worst times ) Should I take it back and demand them to redo it? Or should I just wait it out?

    it must just be your alternator belt or the Power Steering belt that slips.

    Take that to the shop and have them look at it. They must not have tightened it enough.

    i don't have my car infront of me now..
    the ps should be the middle one...if u stand in front of your car...u can see the ps pump..to tighten it u need a bar (or whatever) to push it pivot it against the other side...tht will push the pump lower to tighten the belt..then u have to tighten the nut below (can be done w/ 2 hands...3 is better)
    ac is the one below
