could be your serpentine belt. usually when they get worn they will start to either slip or cause a very high pitched screeching noise. to verify that is the cause get some water or brake clean in a spray bottle and spray it on to the belt while the vehicle is running. if the noise goes away for a moment you found your cause. if not then its something else. Hope this helps
Ok so if the oil like was flickering it probably is a bad sensor or just a little low on oil. (make sure to keep your car full of oil with refills all the time if its leaking, very important). but i dont think it siezed up. a screeching noise then no power? You probably broke a alternator or accessory belt. did the battery light come on and did you loose power steering? thats what it is, a different issue. replacing belts is pretty inexpensive, no reason to get rid of the car.
Go to the auto parts store and purchase a can of belt dressing. As them where to spray it, they will happily show you, and your screeching will stop. If it doesn't, you may need to look into purchasing a new power steering pump. Try the inexpensive route first (belt dressing), and I'm willing to bet it fixes the screeching.
Hi, it sounds more like you have a improperly tensioned drive belt. If you didn't get all the trapped air out of the power steering system this maybe the cause of your stiffer steering problem now. Try loosening the P/S belt all the way and starting the car if you still hear the noise you know its in one of the other drive belts. good luck
at the exhaust manifold there is a flex joint in the exhaust pipe
what you describe indicates that that flex section has failed and need replacing
There is no transmission problem
I would go to auto zone and get a diagram and the timing belt and do it yourself and the water pump (no it does not have to be changed everytime the timing belt is changed but if the car has over 60,000miles then it is best to change them both) it is not that hard especially if the car is not out of time just make sure you disconnect the negative side of the battery
