This morning when I started my car up I heard a very slight squeaking noise coming from under the hood. It gets louder as the revs go higher. But the thing is once the car is at running temp, the noise goes away.. Anyone have any idea why this is? What could be squeaking while the car is cold but not when its warm? Im really confused... :??:
Squeaking noise coming from engine bay

Is it a squeaking or a chirping? Can you differentiate where it is coming from? Front of motor (belt area)? Driver's side lower engine bay? Etc. Could be a TOB issue.
Might just be an idler bearing as well....
You can always remove the 8-ribbed belt for a short period of time to see if the noise disappears.

Its a squeaking for sure.. It sounds to me like its coming front the pully/belt area.. but since its very hard to hear at idle and only when reving its hard to tell.
Would either of the two things here go away after the car was warmed up?
Check your belt gaurd that is attached to the blower, you might have broken the top weld on it, or it could just be loose, seen it recently on a cobra

Coleman might be on to something if you are hearing it from the pulley area. I would try his suggestion of removing the belt for a test.
Mine does the same thing, its definately coming from the secondary belt, squeaks a little when cold and then goes away.The belt looks like its pretty hard to get at.Looks like it might be a pain in the butt to change :shrug:
