I was driving on the highway the other night and I heard a loud screeching noise coming from my car. I slowed down to pull over and it did the same noise, rumbled, and died. I tried starting it, and it ran for about 30 seconds, and did the same thing. It did this about 4 times. I let it sit for about 2 minutes while I called my dad, and I tried starting it back up a final time. To my surprise, it started, and did fine on the way home, and I haven't had any problems since that night.[it was about 2 days ago] I am worried that this could happen again, and I want to get it fixed to prevent it. My question is if anyone knows what could be causing this? I was thinking maybe it was a belt or something, but I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

What year is your car, and type of motor (SOHC or DOHC) It will say on the top of the motor.

It might be the alternator belt start the car and see if the batterey light on the dash stays on. that would explain the loud screech you heard the belt slipping

No, it doesn't stay on.
