got a squeel under your engine???
I did, it started getting worse and worse for about 3 days untill today i brought it to the dealership. At first I was thinking it was the alternator bearings starting to die, but it wasnt. It was the actual power stearing pump. Sooooo if it sounds like you have a supercharger under the hood, get it to the dealership to get the power stearning pump replace.

Yeah, my 96 civic had that noise, but it was a a/c compressor that made the noise, so once in a while a guy pulls up next to me and says "you got turbo?"lol cause it exactly sounded like a turbo spooling up when I rev the engine. After I replace the compressor I thought they had change the whole engine cause it was soooo quiet.

UPDATE: I was right, it was the alternator, the dealership called back and told me it is going to be ready tomarrow. damnit....
mine did the same thing, and I did an oil change and got one of the heat shields on my exhaust tightened up. I think it was the heat shield thought, but I dunno why it would be making a noise under the engine..
