I am hearing a noise under the hood that is a squeal. For about the first 5 minutes the car is started is when the noise is bad, then after that the noise almost stops. The car is a 1992 Dodge Stealth. Thinking it is a pulley, belt, or barring.

Most likely it is a belt that is loose. Since it does it when first started, chances are it is the alternator belt. Make sure it is properly tight as well as any other belts.

Let me know what you find.
