What causes the fan belt in a 1993 tracker to squeal?
It can be several things, either by themselves, or in combination. 1) the belt has dried up and isn't as grippy any more. This causes it to slip and squeal. There are sprays available to restore grip on belts which might help. 2) the belt has stretched a little, which causes it to slip and squeal. Retension, usually by adjusting the alternator position and it should be OK. 3) one of the auxilliaries(alternator, power steering pump, water pump) is about to seize. If it's harder to rotate the belt will slip and squeal.

The pump bearings may be going bad or the belt could be slipping. Check to see if the belt is too tight or too loose.
When the water pump goes out of a Toyota Camry does the Timing Belt automatically go bad or can the timing belt cause the water pump to go out?
the timing belt can cause a water pump to go bad if the belt is on too tight, because that will put stress on the bearings making it wear out rather quickly.
How do you stop a 1996 Ford Aerostar serpentine belt from squealing?
I had the same problem, so I took the belt off and washed it in soapy water. I then took a wet, soapy cloth and wiped off all of the pulleys. The squeal in my Aerostar was caused by a leaking power steering pump, which leaked fluid on the belt, causing it to slip and squeal.

If the engine is making singing or chirping noises could it be the water pump or belt on a Plymouth Acclaim?
Yep, it could be the water pump or maybe the alternator. If a bearing is starting to go bad on that alternartor, it will make noise. Usually if a water pump is going bad you'll notice moisture coming out of the weep hole; but only if the seal goes bad; the bearing can chirp or squeal; take the belt off the pump; does the noise stop? turn the pump by hand does it feel loose and gritty as you turn it? if it's ok it should feel stout with no gritty feeling.
IF On the 94 ford escort 1.9l when the timing belt goes bad does the valves get bent?
This is a non-interference engine. If the belt breaks you will be stranded but no damage will occur. Replace the belt every 60,000 miles. The cam belt drives the water pump, so I suggest you also replace the water pump at the same time you replace the belt, to avoid future labor costs when the pump goes bad, which it will.
