Problem 1.
Alright well I have a squealing noise from my engine when I start the car but then it goes away. I sprayed some STP Belt dressing on all my belts and such to fix the squeal. I just did that today so I don't really know if its helped yet or not. I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I start up the car.
Problem 2.
Also sometimes when I start the car it'll start then I'll hear a clicking noise and I won't hear it again. Any ideas?
Problem 3.
I have a CEL and took it to AutoZone and got a p1103 which means "MAF Sensor in range but higher than expected". I have heard that most of the times AutoZones machine thing is wrong though so that may even not be it. But if it is then does that mean I need to buy a new MAF?
Problem 4.
I think this is related to the above problem (3) but when I drive I have a huge loss in power, when I hit about 3k RPM's in 3rd and 4th it will cut out on me and I have to slow it down, this will also happen to me sometimes when i hit about 60-65. It like stutters on me and crap. Car won't go above 80. It like stops there. What is causing this and how is it fixed? Are all of these problems related to each other?
If anyone has any ideas for any of these problems please help me out. Also if anyone is in Houston, I'd love to get with you and show each our cars and get some tips and help on tuning it and such. Sorry for so long and thanks for looking and reading thru all this and hopefully I'll get some help.
Edit: I also forgot to mention that sometimes when I'm driving and I hit about 3k where the turbo should be spooling sometimes I hear a high pitched whining noise. It stops when I shift though. Any ideas? It's not the "pssshhhht" sound either. My car is bone stock. Maybe it's a boost leak somewhere? This may be normal and how the turbo is supposed to sound so if it is then my bad,
