If Im driving around normally I dont hear it but if I romp on her from a stop I hear it around 2 or 3rd gear, car has 34300 miles.

take a look at the serp belt. if it looks worn, replace it and see if it helps.

Ok, thanks StreetStang.

Belt tensioner, replace it with a steel one. it's a common problem

Yea it would seem if it was the belt it would do it all the time not just on hard acceleration, if it looks worn go ahead and get a new one but my guess whould be the tensioner also.

i also agree with either the belt or tensioner

A gator belt will also help. The idler pullies are very cheap and easy to replace.

From what I could see and feel the belt looks to be in good shape, how much are the idler pullies and what are they made out of?

how much is the tensioner? mine squeeks bad sometimes

Idler pully is $14 at AutoZone, takes about five minutes to change.

Is it the idler pulley that makes the squealing noise?
