After driving and warmup, there?s a high pitch continuous squeal coming from the pulleys. Did the screw driver test and can?t hear anything from the PS pump, alternator, water pump or belt tensioner. When I blip the throttle squeal goes away and only comes back at idle.

Looking at the HB, it looks like it?s wobbking a bit. Could that be the issue?

This may be related but about this time I noticed the squealing, the disco is hard to start only occasionally. It doesn?t matter hot or cold. Sometimes it starts right up other times I have to crank it 3-4x. Once it?s on tho it runs like a top. Idle is smooth and power is great.

No codes on the dash.

Thanks for the help in advance,

Brendon
