Squeeking or chirping sound when accelerating. Changed water pump and idler pulley, now it's making that awful sound when driving.
If it is a belt noise, sprinkling baby powder on the belt will make the noise go away. Apply liberaly with engine off onto the belt and start the vehicle. The belt may have gotten coolant on it and this will cause the chirp. Also a defective belt tensioner will cause the belt to chirp
When I hear "chirping" sound on these cars, the first thing that comes to mind is the camshaft synchronizer. It is located on the top of the motor on the driver side (back) 0f the engine. Follow the link to see video that tell you all there is to know.
