Hello, I advise you to open the hood and watch the engine as someone starts your car. It should be easy to locate the source of the screeching noise. It's my guess that it could be a slipping belt. Please repost after you have done that. We may be able to provide you the advice you need to fix the problem. For example, if it is a slipping belt--we can tell you how to prevent it from slipping.

Don't delay, get it looked at today. It's the possibility of it being a bearing that is the danger. Bearing failures will strand you and can cause ancillary damage that will add to the repair cost. It's probably not a bearing, but it would be economically foolhardy to wait until one failed to find out that it was. The water pump, for instance, is under the timing belt. A failure of its bearings will do very expensive damage to your engine. An experienced mechanic will be able to tell by listening whether it's the belt. The longer you wait, the more danger you're in. Your car is talkng to you; listen to it. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

It sounded like a bad bearing and had me going for a while. But my first thought is for a belt, too. Don't put off the repair or you may find yourself stranded, and possibly with some serious engine damage. Mike |
