I'm a newbie here. And my 89' 240sx engine squeals in cold morning start up even if I did warm up the car, but after 15 seconds it stops. It sounds like it the pullys, belt or fan. I did spray some WD-40 on it, but didn't help. I also notice that when I come to a full stop(At stop signs and lights) the sound comes back and stops in a couple seconds of launch. I NEED HELP!!! IT DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!

yes the noise is the belt. don't spray oil (WD40 is a superlight oil) on the belt, that will only cause it to slip and make more noise. replace the belt, they are cheap and it should be easy.
