thought it was the a/c, so i turned it off and it stopped.
then i reversed and it didnt do it.
only when i accelerate.
and its so very loud!
I think it has something to do with the a/c because while idling it is the worst. not like a loose belt squeal. it really gets worse when you turn on the a/c at idle, once I accelerate a bit it stops. when the a/c pump kicks on the car shakes a little and starts it up again. kinda embarrasing at stop lights ya know
 
is a good bet the belt is loose or bad... so smart thing to do would be have it check
 
could be a belt or a bad pulley
take out the ac and p/s belt out and start the engine if the problem stops you know now the problem are betwen ac and p/s pump

if problem continues take out the alt and water pump belt if problem continues from there you might have problems with the timming belt
