Try tightening the belts & lowering the idle. Jon

If tightening the belt does not stop the belt squeal, try some belt dressing on all the belts. Some of the better hardware stores and the larger parts stores sell the dressing. It looks like tar in a tube.

Also, 7d8 is correct about lowering the idle speed. The most common cause of dieseling is an idle speed that is too fast. Do not adjust the idle speed until the engine is up to temp (hot) and after verifying the choke plate is in a vertical position (off).

im 16 lol can a mechanic do it? and how much u think?

Chase, Unless you have very deep pockets, I would suggest that you get a Chiltons or Haynes manual for your vehicle. Your car is old and will need alot of basic maintenance. Most of it can be performed by you. Sending your vehicle to a repair shop for every little thing will get to be Quite expensive. Jon

OK Chase, did you fix it? Did you get any damage to it in the storm?
