My car won't start it'll make a squeeking or squeeling noise when I go to start, won't start unless I pump the accelerator, but sometimes it starts fine it's about 50/50 it starts or doesnt

It has been doing it for about 1 month now it'll squeel into no noise if i keep attempting to turn the key after it screeches, it's high pitched noise, pumping the accelerator seems to get it started most efficently

Squeeling when the car starts.
Your belts need replaced. Its the belt slipping that causes the squeel. Sometimes the idle pulley or belt tensioner will make the same noise if wore.

Loud sqoeeking noise when turning front wheels
is it a squeeking or a squeeling....

If it is a squeeking noise, take the car to have every thing on the front suspention lubed up, is possible it is dried out.

If it is a squeeling noise, then that means you need a new drive belt.
