Weird squeeling noise

Durring cold weather (below 35 degrees), when I start driving my car, even after I let it warm up, when Im going down the road, as I accelerate a loud squeeling noise starts up, and the faster i go, the louder it gets.
Any idea's on what this could be?

I have a similar problem and I don't want to jack this thread but ppl bitch for startin new threads for the same question.
Mine squeels when I start it up, pretty much all the time, but it'll eventually go away (i'm assuming after the belt heats up a little and stretches to catch?!), but if I turn the AC on it squeels even more and doesn't stop until I turn it off (AC). I can rev it up to like 2.5k then turn the AC on and it doesn't squeel until it gets down to 1300rpms. It looks like the crankshaft pulley has a little movement on it, but I can't figure out how to stop this annoyin noise.

hey ya my 93 si is doing the exact samr tihng when i start it too. and when i dont start it for a while it squeels for like 20 seconds then it stops.... i duno about the AC thing i havnt really tried but then it quits and a few times when it was cold out i went drivin and when i started to push the cluthc in and stop it started squeeling.... so i said w/e and kept driving and like 5 mins later it quit. I took both my belts off and now im looking at the alternator to see whats up if u guys find out wahts wrong plzzzzz let me know thanks

I think your getting the wrong idea of what kinda squeeling noise im talking about.
Its not like a warn belt or anything, its just...weird, its so hard to figure out what it is...its not a belt...at least i dont think.

sorry to double post, but i got another quick question aside from the other one. If you put fuel filter on backwards, will it cause poor idleing, and stuff like that? cuz i just changed mine, and the morning after, i noticed it had a very very rough idle, and hardly wants to stay on without my foot on the gas pedal

Correct. Lucky it runs at all.

Also, sounds like you have a power steering pump perhaps going out if its not a belt squeal.

So do u think I should try turning the filter around then?
also, i know its not my alternator, cuz i just had it checked not to long ago.
