HI i have 96 civic coupe dx 5 speed 1.6NVTEC and when i just get in my vehicle and drive it when its cold i hear a squealing noise i when i push on the gas i am not sure if this is my belt or a pully or my alternator what u think???

 

is there slop in your belts? check to see if its tight. if not tighten it and see if it goes away. if its cracked. buy a new one there cheap. if the problem remains check to see if your power steering pump is going. could be a number of things, water pump, oil pump, AC pump etc.

 

i would bet money your alternator belt is loose

 

Yeah check all the belts for slack. While you're at it check for cracks in the belts. Takes a second but most people overlook it..

 

Yeah tighten those suckers as tight as you can...But not too tight if they're old..but if they're old they should be replaced already. To check the slack, turn the belt with your hand from side to side...it should not go beyond a 1/2 turn.

 

I don't have power steerin on it so ik its not that and I will check my belt to see if its loose or cracked thanks for help I will reply back to see if that has fixed it

 

The alternator is the one that will squeal on startup. Normally the alternator draws a lot of power when first started, as it needs to recharge the battery. The power steering belt is most stressed when you turn the steering all the way to one side, and the air conditioner belt, naturally with the air conditioner on.

 

Well I aint got power steering or ac so it can't be them
