Default Weird Noise.

So i started my 03 350z this morning and as soon as i start it, i hear a whining/screaming noise. I let the car warm up for a bit and the noise stops. I started heading to work and drove about 10 miles and the car stalls. Turns back on but the noise comes back and wouldn't go away until, drove it for about a half a mile till i got to work and turned it out.

Maybe your alternator or an idler pulley seized up and the belt is squealing? I would check the oil level in the engine too, just to be sure that's not a problem. Does the volt meter read 14.4 when it's running?

Might just go ahead and put on new belts because most likely wasn't replaced before i bought the car.
