1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4 Engine Chirping Noise

Question

I purchased a 1990 Jeep in May of this year. In the last few days I have heard a "chirping" noise when the engine is at idling speed. This morning when I got to work, I popped the hood and stood there listening at different points. Sounds like the noise is at the front, and I am wondering if that could be a belt? Also, going over a hill two weeks ago, nearing the bottom and making a turn, the engine just died. She started right back up, ran just fine. Two days ago, I was at a stop light and she started dieseling like she was gonna die, so I put her in park and hit the gas a couple times, she perked right up and ran just fine. Could the chirp and the other issue be related to each other?

Answer 1

Replace the drive belt and scan the vehicles computer..

Answer 2

Definitely sound like a belt.  Aside from having a mechanic look at it, try running a can of injector cleaner in your next tank of gas.  Jeeps are pretty bulletproof.
