For some reason when i start up my car it would make a squeeking noise. It does it when i accelerate but would stop after the 2nd gear or so (automatic). I think this happens when the engine is cold? since it happens when i start it up in the morning when its in my garage. But today i parked outside and it did that. The sound is coming from the front.

I have a 89 240sx..automatic

its not your belts? cuz my 92 needs new belts and they squeal at startup, or maybe they're too tight or too loose.

actually the KA has a timing chain. and i meant accessory belts i.e. air conditioning, power steering. have someone start the car while you are under the hood to pinpoint where the squeak is coming from.
