Sounds like the cam position sensor. looks like the distributor, but has a sensor in it instead of cap and rotor. From what I have seen the bushings go bad in the housing causing a "belt squeek" kind of noise. Have it looked at before the problem gets worse, have seen them actually break, leaving the vehicle stuck
