My 91 with the 3.0 liter V6 has a belt squeal when first started. It does it worse when the engine is hot. The squeal wiil stop if I rev the engine, but it does it every time I start it now. I've been told its the water pump bearing, the alternater, the power steering, and the fan clutch. How do I determine which it is?

Remove the alternator, power steering and fan belts as they will no effect you car when engine is just running, the water pump runs of the timing belt, if it still squeals it you water pump.

50k isn't new but also isn't that high a milage , how old is the belt ,as age as well as mileage are the factors when replacing belts , chalk dust or french chalk , which are the same thing , thrown onto the belt just as starting should stop the squeal , the squeal is caused by the inner side of belt that runs around the pulleys becomes shiney and cant grip as well as it used to
Squealing noises are more apt to be from belts, not mechanical parts. It doesn't necessarily have to be "a belt" per se, as the noise could, in part, be caused by an idler pulley. Open the hood and try to locate the sound. FYI I have posted the complete 2004 Forenza Service manual on FIXYA. Do a site search with those key words.
cam sensor or crank failing. works fine till engine is hot. then cut out engine or just puts engine in limp mode. with engine ecu light on... dont know what the **** is .
Could be your belt is stretched and needs to be replaced,can't tighten cause it's done by tensioner.Here's a link to the belt replacement guide.To check out noise,open hood,stand at engine,have someone start,listen for noise,have person rev up engine and you find where noise is coming from.Also check tensioner.
The squealing could be a belt slipping - the alternator would be working hard to charge the battery after being parked. The lack of power could be a different issue. A 1992 model should not have a choke - it should be fuel injected.

If the pump is stopping and belt squeals, the belt is too loose. You either have the wrong belt or it's not tensioned properly. Does that car have a automatic tensioner on that belt? Sometimes those tensioner sieze and don't do the job anymore.
Your belt is loose (and it just needs tightening) or it is worn and needs to be replaced. It may look ok but they glaze over; all the little ridges get shinny and slip.
