(95 s14, stock KA) What's happening with my car is that it makes a quick little chirpy noise at intervals of anywhere between 30 and 180 seconds. Accompanying every chirp is a momentary power loss. I've never had a worn belt that acted in this way (I'm guessing it's a belt). Has anyone had a similar experience? I guess I just need to replace my belts, I just though that worn down belts usually begin to gradually develop a constant squeeling noise, whereas mine make absolutely no noise 95% of the time.

It's your alternator belt slipping on the pulley.

Tighten it if you can. If not, replace it.
