So after cleaning up the rusty pulleys that were causing premature belt wear and resulting in lots of dirt and dust in my engine compartment, I've got a belt squeak when I start the motor. It goes away once I throttle down to neutral from fast idle position. I also replaced the alternator as part of this work. Spent about 5 hours cruising around the lake today and it squeaked every time I started up from the fast idle position then would go away and not squeak at all. Ran great rest of the time. Belts are nice and tight and engine compartment was nice and clean/belt dust free after all day of use. Any ideas what would cause the squeak? TIA
