Screech at start up Sign In

When I start my 2001 Toyota Solara I hear a 2-3 second screech sound. I had a friend spray the belt under the hood and it stopped for a short time. The screech is not at every start-up , but enough to notice. The car runs regularly. What could be causing this noise?

The noise your hearing is the belt slipping. Now someone needs to examine it to determine if this is due to adjustment, a bad spring loaded tensioner or a bad belt.
