Mazdaspeed protoge 03 is making that high pitch squeeling noise and i just replaced powersteering belt.also as soon as i turn a/c on it starts squeeling
Re: Mazdaspeed protoge 03 is making that high pitch...
That means the fanbelt on the alternator is not tight enough or needs to be changed, if the belt on powersteering goes via A/C than it might be too tight on the powersteering pulley.

Brakes DO NOT affect the starting and running of an engine. If it has spark, fuel and air in the correct amounts, it will start and run, unless it has been internally damaged.
Make sure the battery is good and has a full charge.
Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop . Without hearing the noise we'd only be guessing . Normally high pitch squealing nosies are associated with belt slipping problem's (serpentine belt ) . The serpentine belt turns the alternator , which if slipping could cause electrical issue's .
Rough idle / stall at idle Check for vacume leaks & split intake tube or loose clamps on intake. Noise put spot of grease on drive belts if noise goes you may need new belts or a tighten up.
Its vary likely a bearing noise . Eighter the altenator power steering pump air pump or water pump . Although it could also be the belt tenisinor its a big time ware part . Thats what i would look at first .The water pump would be leaking from the bottom . The altenator would be giveing you battery problems charging . The air pump if you have one would show signs in engine porformance . The power steering pump you may not notcce a porformance issue .Its likely the belt tenisioner
Sounds like the serpentine belt is slipping . Most likely you have a bad belt tensioner. Another possibility is your steering pump could be going out. Ball joints and tie rods make clunking or knocking sounds when they are bad.
THE ALTERNATOR CAN GO OUT DUE TO A WEAK OR BAD BATTERY CAUSING IT TO OVERCHARGE TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH DEMAND ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. IT WILL HAVE A HIGH PITCH NOISE WHILE CHARGING AT A HIGH RATE AND FINALLY IT TO WILL GO BAD.
HAVE THE BATTERY TESTED AND CHECK THE CHARGE RATE AT THE ALTERNATOR AND AT THE BATTERY.
This could be caused the idle speed control valve as air passes through it, have seen this issue on other models many times, clean the valve first, if the noise persists replace it.
