Ok, this is weird. I guess it could be a belt but I'd surprised.
There are two problems and both are during a cold start (car sitting more than 15 minutes). The 1st problem is that the car is difficult to start on a cold start. The problem is non-existant when the tank is full be gets worse as the level gets lower. I'm thinking it must be a fuel pressure issue. The car runs great when warm...
The other problem (or maybe the same problem) is a loud squeal when the car finally does kick after a cold start. I guess it could be a belt, the engine is just starting to kick over (but struggling) when it happens, but it doesn't sound like a belt. Is there anyone who has experienced this strange squeal? If it's not a belt I have no idea what it could be.
Ok, here is a 3rd issue (I forgot mention above). It looks like a developed a leak at the intake manifold at the 2nd cylinder from the front. I could also be coming from the block sensors directly below. Maybe the ECT sensor. Has anyone ever had a problem with a leaking intake manifold?
Thanks in advance for any comments.
