Default engine problem!

this never happend before, before meaning summer. since the weather is cold i think my problem is cause by that. When i turn on the car, theres this weird squeaky sound, so i left the car to fully warm up, and the sound goes away. So the other day i turn it on again, and i start turnin the steering wheel... sounds like 2 racoons fighting... so again i wait and let it warm up and it goes away.. so i figure maybe its my power steering?, i take it apart. Checked for leaks or holes or anything, change the oil, pop it back in. Still, same thing.. i had my buddy turn on the car this time while i stood infront of the engine and i told him to turn the wheel! (now the main problem).... when the car gets turned on, the belt is moving fine!, but once the steering wheel is moved a bit, the belt starts to slow down. Once moved allot it just stops and jerks back and forth???

appreciate some assistance please?

What problem? I don't give two ***** about your engine, why would I give a ---- about a dick's engine? You expect me to be nice to you after you low ball me and call my products knock-off's? Think again bud. It would be a different story if you appoligized but seems you are a parts specialist, so be it, take apart your engine and find out if any parts are fake.

belt dressing you can pick up at crappy tire, it's a band-aid solution. basically you spray it on the belt and once it drys it helps the belt grip better. i find that hondas don't needs this with a good quality belt and good tensioner.

^yes, but like i said, it's a band-aid solution, the squeel will come back or the belt will snap. a new belt is like $20.

I know what you meant "einstien", talking smack is when you say something that ain't true, read over again mr.parts specialist and see what I lied about. After you have followed that step, hollah with a address and time. EzZzzzzzzz!

Then torque the bitch down; take as much slack out as possible.

This is by no means permanent, but will prove if your problem is due to belt slack.

I figured this would be common sense...

If it freezes, it will expand noticeably. Like, i mean, giant buldges in the sides of the cell walls.
