What belt?
O.K. guys i have a quick question that i am sure you all could answer in a few seconds. so the problem i am running into is when i start my car(only if sitting for a few hours or overnight) the belt(i think) is squeeling. the squeel only last 1 second and then stops. What belt do you guys think it is? serpentine is my guess but what do i know! Thanks again all!

if your belts are not worn, and obviously damaged,
then it's possible it's the idler pulley/tensioner but if it's only doing it briefly and goes away, you have time to figure out what it is before it gets really squeally

FYI: There is just the one serp belt on the car that runs all accessories. Timing is done with a chain.
IF your belt was slipping, it should do it more when under greatest load. Try turning the AC on and turning the steering wheel to full lock and see if the noise increases. IF it doesn't then it more likely a rotating assembly. As Phil mentioned, it could be the idler or the tensioner, but theoretically it could be your PS or AC as well.
