Ok, so I go get doughnuts for everyone at work this morning and everything is running as it should. When I get back into the car and start driving away, I hear this horid squeak coming from under my hood! When I get to work, I pop the hood and rev the engine a bit via the throttle body and find that the squeak isn't there during idle, but gets progressivly louder after around 2000 rpm. I would think it's a bad belt, but I checked it and the belt looks great. I know it's not new, but there isn't a frey to be found anywhere.

What else could this be? I already have a friggen exhaust lead I'm spending almost $1500 to fix, I don't need another major problem. Any ideas?

My idea: watch the tension pully for unusual shaking/movment, could be going out......?

LOL, if it's not one thing it's another! Tension pulley, eh? Will it be obvious if it's going bad, or do I need to look for something special?

It'll be obvious, at least it was when mine went out (twice). You can see if its rubbing against the block, thats another sign. But i suggest you have a second set of ears/ eyes to help you out, makes it easier to pin point where the noise is commin from.
