Check your belts. Squealing that goes away with pressing the the accelerator generally indicates a loose, glazed, or covered in oil belt. Alt or power steering belt will be your culprit...

yeah thanks for the help i'll remember that but what turned out to b the problem was either cracks in ccylinder pistons tops 2 & 3 or the head gasket I replaced both and no more noise thanks again!

I'm pretty sure the removal of the belts is required to pull the head to get to the gasket, so when reinstalled you would have had to re tighten the drive belts. Still gonna say the squealing was caused by loose belts, and not a crack or multiple cracks in either pistons or the head gasket. I'd personally say you just did a bunch of extra work to fix something that could have been a 5 min belt check.


But to each their own.
