Howdy,when I start my 1991 N/A I get a real bad high pitched sound coming from the rear of the car.When i step on the gas it increases in pitch and volume.I am assuming it's probably a belt but which belt would it be and how hard is it to replace? The sound go's away when the car is warmed up.Other than that there seems to be no other problem with it,i.e, missfiring,stalling,etc.Thanks for any help anyone may offer to me.Cya.

there is a belt tension adjuster thats not to hard to get to..a few turns on that should cure it.. maybe use some belt dressing. if your belts are 4yrs old or more, u should go ahead and change them..

just follow the belt up. it's not too far from the top on the side with the belt. it has a small pulley that doesn't drive anything and a long bolt for the adjusting
