I bought this car in february, and besides getting a new battery, it was a great deal for $2000. But I drove about four hours away a few weekends ago, most of it highway going 70 or more. On the way back it started to make a really bad beeping... screeching grinding sound.
After driving the car for these last weeks, I can explain it better: When I start the car up and go, it will be fine for about 10 minutes. Then it will start to make a sort of beeping sound, that seems to be coming from something grinding and screeching against a pipe of some sort when it goes around (like the thing hooking the two front tires together are hitting something as it goes around it's rotation, only in one spot).
It stops completely every time I press on the break. It is sometimes worse when I make a right turn, and it sometimes gets better, or stops when I make a left turn. When I first started to hear it, someone told me that it might be something about the break pads. Then I heard that it could be a belt (fan belt maybe) that is loose or slightly off. And then I heard that it could be that my tires need to be rotated, or their off (I can't remember) and I might possibly lose a tire while driving it. As you can tell I'm not exactly car savy. I have a friend who is coming over tonight or tomorrow and would like it if someone could answer me and tell me what they think this problem could be. When I talk to my friend, I would like to point him in the right direction, so maybe he can fix it, or at least tell me exactly what it is, so I don't get screwed over by a mechanic if I have to go to one.

its prob the airflow meter, or could just be the plug to the airflow meter. Thats not too expensive. Also could be a loose connection to somewhere, make sure all your harness plugs are clean and tight. Are you 100% sure the battery is new??
