well i dunno if any of you guys would remember but i recently posted about my ECM frying, and was able to figure that out, and fix it relatively quickly thanks to you guys. i got the ecm today, hooked it up, worked like a charm...only thing im noticing now, and it could have been doing it before i just didnt notice it untill today when i had the hood up... upon starting the car makes a kinda short squeal, sounds almost like a belt slipping.... only....it didnt seem to be coming from the belts, i tried to figure out where it was coming from , im gonna try and get a stethescope, but it seemed to be centralized under near/under the intake manifold..... im sure i have more detective work to do, but i just thought i'd post and see if anyone had any ideas/suggestions to check. it only does it when it fires up, then thats it, everything seems normal afterwards.

Starter motor bearings/bushings need a bit of oil?
