When I start my car it make a very loud sqwealing noise for servral seconds the noise stops and then starts again, it does this several times till it warms up. Could the problem be the alternator, or a pump, I do have the heat on when I start the car. Please let me know what you think it could be. Thank you.

It sounds like you have a belt problem. Check the belt for wear and make sure it is tight. Chances are the belt is worn out or the tensionier has become too weak to keep enough tension on the belt.

Let me know what you find.
