I have a 97 DOCH neon... when i start it up the altornator belt squeels.. and sometimes when i let it idol (like by a stop sign). After running it for a lil while it wont do it ( like if i shut it off for 5 min it wont do it when starting it back up) the altornator seems to be fine, the belt is still in good condition, and seems to be tight enough... if i rev the engine while its squeeling it stops it?? any answers for me?

Make sure the belts are tight enough... not just visually but physically.

tighten the belts and if they are good then put some belt grease on it from autozone

I had the same problem with my neon. The belts looked good until I took them off, and the inside of the belt was all tore to hell. I ended up changing both belts on my car and it runs very good now. The belt that was bad on my car was the alternator belt. Good Luck.
