Loud squealing noise
Hello all,
I own a 1998 Nissan Maxima SE with just over 65K miles. I had my belts changed yesterday due to the stock ones being worn. Today, I was about to leave my parents' house and started the car. It began making a loud squealing noise. I went to a parts store and picked up some belt dressing. It seemed to help a little bit, but I noticed that when I crank the car, it makes the noise. However, if I put it in gear or blip the throttle, it goes away and doesn't come back until I turn off the car and crank it again. Has anyone here experienced the same problem? Could it be an issue with the tension in the belts? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Daniel

might want to check the tension of your belts and adjust to spec
also, try not to use belt dressing in the future, esp. on new belts.
I did that on my '87 Olds Toronado one time, next thing I was w/o a belt
