OK I was driving my car around today and when I put the petal to the metal the car started squeaking for a bit and then stopped.

The sound was coming from somewhere under the hood.

Alternator belt?

That was kinda what I was thinking. What's an easy solution to fix this?

Tighten it. Was it a sqeaking or a squealing? Squeaking is probably something else...

it may be time for a new pulley if its squeaking. If its screeching and squealing its the belt.

I have a similar problem sometimes... I think it's the tires...

Yea it's the belt, it was squealing.
