Help with a 94 honda civic
So I've got a 94 Honda civic that has been in the driveway since the terrible snow storms in the end of February. I live near Philadelphia. I tried to jump it the other day and the battery wouldn't hold a charge, so i got a new battery. Now when I try to start it, it lets out a ear piercing screech and the engine revs but doesn't hold idle, it just dies.
I know the belts are slipping and might need be to be replaced, but why does it die. Do you think my alternator could be frozen or a pulley? It has 2 accessory belts one that drives the PS and one for the alternator. It doesn't have AC.
If any of you car guys could share some light it would be nice. It would be nice to know where to start.

I'd take the belts off and try starting it. If it fires up ok then you'll know your Alt or PS pump is siezed.
OR you could just push it off a cliff(obligitory honda hate comment )

Instead of taking off the belts, just have a friend start it and you watch the pulleys. If there is any resistance, or if you see it spinning in a funny way, rip that mother flower off. Is all of your maintenance up to date?
