weird sound on start up
when i start the car in the morning or when it sits for several hours it makes this screeching sound for about 5 to 10 seconds. its a 99 eclipse gs. at first i thought it was the belts. so i looked at the engine as i had someone start it and it wasnt coming from the belts. somewhere in the middle of the engine by the fire wall area. what could it be?

I know you said the middle of the engine but, can you pinpoint where the noise is? it could be a pulley going bad or bearing in the alternator or something. Your right abt it not lasting long lol.
