Squeeky C5
My 98 Coupe started doing something quite annoying last week.
Whenever there's a load on (ie. whenever i press the gas pedal) I hear this squeeking sound. Sounds like it's coming from the back. My first thought was exhaust leak, but it sounds more like a circular or rotating squeek. It's almost a 'mouse'-y squeek.
When I coast the problem seems to disapear, or at least greatly diminish.
Also, it will do it some while in neutral, but not as much or as loud.
Any ideas before I pay mucho deniro to get it looked at
thanks

Update!!
Just did a bit of troubleshooting... noise stops when I turn off A/C!
From the driver's seat the noise seemed to come from rear of vehicle, but when I opened the hood it was clearer.
Can I stop this sqeak somehow?

I am in west Houston (katy area) and I thought it was close to me, like on westheimer but i can't seem to find it

SO...we'll see what happens.MTI is located at Dairy Ashford and Westheimer. If you turn South on Dairy Ashford at Westheimer, the road begins to narrow from 3-2 lanes.
At the point where 3 become 2, take a left turn on the side street (Oxford Park Dr., there is a AutoZone there) Go past the mechanics/auto shop and MTI is there on the left had side.
If you need something checked out, I recommend calling in advance to schedule it...drive up business is not their preferred method of doing business.
