Squealing right after it starts is usually the alternator belt. The alternator is working hard then to recharge the battery after starting.

Or maybe it's the driver going "AAUGH, I have to drive this piece of crap, wish I had a Civic!"

Not to post-jack, but my brother's '94 prelude does the same thing.my dad even tried to tighten the belts that are usually suspect, but it still does it. *shrug*
