engine makes screaching noise at startup and stalls

96 Maxima and 98 I30 makes a screaching noise when cold. If you step on the acelerator and give it gas it stays running otherwise it will stall.

Tuneup time. Belts, plugs etc have to be changed every 60k...

Belts and plugs should be good for more than 60k.
The screeching could be caused by a bad pulley. Keep the motor running for a bit, then carefully touch the pulleys. Or you can remove the belts and start the motor. The idler pulley went bad on my Maxima and it got very noisy.

Tow truck companies love ol belts

Better to observe plug mfg recommendations www.ngk.com; Belts 5 yrs/60k - and the tightness has to be checked twice a year.

Pulleys last forever and are never changed except when hammered - where on earth this fairy tale came from?
