When I had my 2007 Malibu had a startup chirp only when cold, meaning if I start it and heard the chirp, shut it off immediately and started it again no chirp. turned out in that case it was the balancer..

Jeff,

What about the balancer? This starts off quiet and as the motor warms up the squeak becomes louder and then slowly the squeak fades away as I drive the car and it warms up to operating temps. With the engine warm on restart, no squeak.
