I suspect you tried all of these to still no avail. Here is a simple trick. Take a spray can of WD40 or similar lubricant, for safety shut down the engine. Then spray a generous amount around you plastic or nylon fan and it's centre spindle or bearing. Now re start your engine and you should have solved the mysterious squeal. Repeat every two months or so and your motor will be back to a quiet and happy beast.

2005 ford freestar will make a squealing noise then die starts back up then may or may not do it again

Check to make sure there aren't any vacuum leaks. Did this problem start after doing the plug and intake clean, or was you having that problem before too?

WHAT IS THE LIKELY CAUSED OF A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM THE ALTERNATOR SERPENTINE DRIVE BELT SYSTEM ? IS IT THE ALTERNATOR OR SERPENTINE BELT?

serpentine belt is getting old and hard and the cold weather was causing it to slip
check belt condition ( small cracks across the grooves = scrap and get a new one) and check tension

2000 montero sport: There's a loud squealing noise coming from the engine. What could be wrong?

Squealing is most common with loose or worn belts, I would start by replacing the drive belt on the front of the motor and go from there, Its easier to troubleshoot a squealing motor if you know that the belt or belts are good.

My 1999 ford explorer makes a squealing noise when I start it up until I push on gas or proceed to move...it will also occassionally make this squealing noise as I am driving..any Idea what this could

The squealing noise you describe is usually from a slipping belt. The belt tensioner may be faulty and not keeping the belt tight enough, the alternator is charging and putting a load on the belt when you first start the engine. If the belt squeaked constantly I would say the belt is glazed.

It squeals from the time i start the engine and continues throughout my trip untill i turn it off. Then when i start it again, it may or may not. If it doesnt squeal the moment i turn it on, then it d

Squeals are usually belts or bearings, check your serpentine belt for cracks and damage . There are it'd products like stop squeal you can use on your belt. If its the belt it will work, otherwise check bearings on all pulleys.

Engine makes a squealing noise when running. No

is it comming from the serp belt?look when the car is off to see if the belt looks brown and shiny and or cracked,,it could be the belt is loose or just old and worn and slipping on the pulleys,,may be your noise,or if you mean squealing while driving it could be the brake pads are low and the low indicator squealers are hitting the rotors to let you know the pads are low and need replacement

When I go to turn the wheel in my 2000 ford ranger I hear loud squealing noises. I checked the power steering fluid and its full. What can it be?The squealing starts as soon as I turn the wheel to the left...

The power steering pump is normally connected or driven by the engine with a V-belt. A loose belt can cause squealing as soon as the power steering come under load (e.g. steering left or right while stopped).

Check the tension on the V-belt directly connected to the power steering pump. This may need replacement.

Hoep this helps.

Loud squealing noises when I turn the wheel of my 2000 ford range

It sounds like the power steering belt is too loose, tighten it up a bit but not too much just enough to make slipping belt stop.
