Default Intermittent difficulty starting and loud squeaking noise

My Jeep is having a very specific issue. Occasionally it will squeak when it starts and nothing else happens. But usually the next couple of times afterward it will squeak and have issues where it wont start unless I continually gas it. It will just stutter out. When it's having problems starting it always squeaks. The squeaking increases with pumping the gas pedal until the noise and problem eventually stop.

This happens intermittently once every couple of weeks. Any ideas?

have you checked how tight your belt is? might not be a related problem at all... sounds like maybe a fuel pressure issue. have you had a tune up at all.. cap and rotor, plugs and wires.?
