Check Engine Light and Possible AC Belt Sqeal
hey guys!
Recently my 98 3rd gen squealed pretty bad when i started it up and right around that time a Check Engine Light came on. Then the squeal was going at about 30 second intervals on the freeway (today) Gave me time to think so I turned of the A/C, no squeal. Then turned the A/C on again and it squealed immediately. I replaced the timing belt and everything else in the kit about 1-2k miles ago. Any thoughts?
Thanks guys in advance for your time!

If TB was done recently and you now have squealing, 90% chance a belt or belts needs tightening. CEL is probably unrelated. Don't waste time speculating, get it read and post the P-code. Or buy a cheap scanner. $15 Bluetooth adapter and Torque app for Android work great. You should really have your own scanner.
