Hi all. I have a 2001 Dodge Neon I'm having a bit of trouble with. Just today, it started squeaking as if it's belts had gotten wet. I wouldn't be surprised if they did, the weather was terrible in the area today (very cold, and rainy), but I've been driving it around for a while and the squeak hasn't gone away.
Figuring I'd warm the belts up a bit, I revved the engine a bit while in park and found it wouldn't rev all the way up, so to speak, like it used to. There's no tachometer so I'm not sure where in the RPM range it's peaking and falling back from, but if I had to estimate, I'd say it was around the middle of the scale. So once I hit the gas (while in park) it revs to that point, comes back down and goes back up again, almost as if I were pulsing the gas pedal. The car seems to drive fine, aside from the annoying noise.
Help!
Thanks,
Lou
