Squeaking!!!
I'm losing my mind trying to find the source of squeaking under the hood. If I drive the car a couple times a week-no squeaking, but if I let the car sit for a week or so it squeaks. I assume it's from the belt, tensioner or idler pulley but I can't pinpoint the cause. I don't want to just start replacing parts unnecessarily. Any suggestions how to isolate the culprit?

Another thing to check while your in there. Get a strong light and watch your harmonic balancer, look for any wobble or any indication that it's not running true. I have read about numerous failures on the OEM harmonic balancers.
