I had a problem with A/C pump. It got stuck, the belt was grinding and so created smoke and as my battery was not new, one day it was too hard to turn the engine, so couldn't start and all lights went out. But might as well be something different.

I have a 99 firebird 3.8 that is making a high pitched squeal that seems to be coming from the drivers side front wheel.
