i believe its a vacum air leak... im afraid :(
ima try getting a new intake see if it fixes the prob :) i hope it does. and uhhmmmm
if it dont... ima do REESSEEARRCHHH! (jackie chan's uncle) and uhmmm... yeah
so these are the probs im getting which narrowed my thought to this
car wont stay on unless i rev a lil (just one slight press on gas) and uhm
when im in first when i tap the gas it revs down and then up(kinda like a major lag except it like doesnt go)
today i stalled at a light(i know i know (what a noob)) anyway turned it on to go and wouldnt go like it felt like it was choking(i think its the fuel pump regulating to much fuel which is causing engine to choke) idk though just by thought
and last but not least the SQUEALING! when i start thats it lmao
ima go get belt dressing :)

HELP!

Squealing is usually caused by the power steering belt skipping, try tightening it a bit or put some candle wax on it (usually a temp fix). As for the car not idling right, definitely seems like a vacuum leak, you can try turning your idle up (on a SOHC in the back of the engine flat head screwdriver, dunno if it's the same on a DOHC). Thats all I can think of by the info put out there. Check your vacuum lines going to your intake tube, usually those are the ones that if tampered will stall your engine.
