Non-belt squeak.
I have a high chirp-squeak when going off of first and (sometimes) second gear only. The squeak is only there when I first engage off the gears. Although it sounds like a pulley or belt, I ruled that...

Hey I know it’s a bit late, but for a while my 87 had trouble starting and it’d stall... if your stalls as well take a look at the pickup coil above the distributor. Fixed the problem for me.

Re: 2.3L looses spark, just dies
