Hello, everybody.

I have been having an issue with my 98' boxster ever since I got it. When I start the car there seems to be a very loud and sudden squeal coming from the mid-section of the car (where the engine is of course). This only happens every now and then. I doesn't happen every time I start up the car.

I assumed it might have been the serpentine belt. I opened the entrance hatch to the belt and found it to be in decent condition. There was no cracking or wasn't evidently dry. I did put some belt conditioner just in case.

I deduced that it isn't the ignition switch/cylinder being that the sound doesn't come from that area at all, but I might be wrong.
