Squeak question

I had a noise like that on my Jeep last year. It was a "rrrnnnhhh, rrrnnnhhh, rrrnnnhhh" noise that turned out to be the bushings in the distributor shaft assembly going bad. I tried tracking that down like crazy, even thought it was an idler pulley. It took a dealer "pro" to find it for me. A new distributor solved the problem. Of course, the timing chain tensioner and oil pump were replaced for good measure...

Good luck!
