Mine chirps when I hit the gas/upshift (its a stick). If I drive it like a granny it wont do it. Tensioner is new, tried 2 new belts...still a nagging problem.
Tried belt dressing spray then somebody told me that is for V-belt, not serp...
If it aint broke, dont break it.

My girlfriend's neon does this too, squeals when you're past 1/4 throttle. Hasn't annoyed me enough yet to do anything about it though Guess I'll try replacing the belt and scuffing up the pulleys

I agree with pushbutton on this. I had the same issue with the cheaper belts and after putting on the Goodyear Gatorback, it never squeaked again.
Where did everyone buy their Gatorback? I'll take one for a 98 Neon...

Waterpump or power steering shaft runout can also cause belt chirping/squeak.
1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD
1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD
Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.
