Let me lay out all the facts first:



- Engine squeals about 50% of the time when driving around. It'll just suddenly start to make this horrible squealing/whirring noise while your driving.

- Squeal gets louder as the RPMs go up.

- If you hold the engine at any constant RPM, the squealing will stay at a constant volume.

- I can hear it just beginning to squeal at around 13-1400 RPM.

- Sometimes the squealing will just suddenly stop and the engine won't make a peep after that (no matter what RPM)

- It doesn't matter what gear its in (including neutral) and whether or not the clutch is in or out - the engine will squeal when you rev it.

- Sometimes (about 50% time) the engine runs just fine, no squealing, whirring, whining - nothing.

- I can't voluntarily make it start or stop squealing. It just happens on its own.

- Occasionally it will sound like there are 2 or 3 different squealing noises. (Has a different pitch.)



The squealing is very annoying, and I'm hoping its not something major. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks --Matt
