my timing belt makes a squeeling noise as i press the gas, it almost sounds kind of cool, but i know its bad, how much can this cost and where can or should i get it done?

righto. chances are it’s a loose or wet belt. if you have fluids leaking on your belts such as coolant from a bad water pump for example, it could cause your belts to squeal as well.

Or it can be dry, cracked and bad. In need of replacment. Tighten a cracked belt and what happends it breaks in no time.

We don’t have a timing belt? weird. I get the squeking to, but its only in 1, 2 gears up unitl 4k after that it stops, i orginally thought it was belts but wouldn’t it squeak all the time and at all rpms.

the timing chain is something you do not ever need to replace (you can if you have 1500 $ and if u want to get rid of that annoyin clack clack noise)
the belt he is talking about is the belt that is connected to the altenator i know this because its happening with my KA
