the car squeals when i first crank it up. when i rev it up it will stop. seems to be worse when colder. if i do not let it warm up long enough it will squeal when i reverse and cotinue as i drive forward then stops after a few feet or it revs high enough. it does not squeal if i go somewhere, turn off, then turn back on after about an hour. this is very annyoing and embarassing and im sure its not something good. any ideas?
