I have a Cavalier Chevrolet 92.
Once I turn the ignition, put the gear into park, Its started making sqeaky noise (out of no where). Then I
Change Gear into Drive. Push the gas peddle to accelerate the speed, the noise is gone.
I found out it was the Timing Belt. Im not sure if the rubber needs to be replaced, or its Loosened
What can I do?

That tells a bit about the thing and parts related. Get this replaced properly at once as this can be a nightmare if it breaks!

Yeah if it is the timing belt and it's an interference motor it could be quite costly if it breaks. I wouldnt think a timing belt would make a squeeking noise though as its driven on gears and the belt has teeth on it. I would make sure it isnt just a drive belt - those tend to make a squeeling noise when they get loose. Plus if the timing belt jumped even one tooth the car would be running terrible - if at all! Just a suggestion.

A 92 Cavalier doesnt use a Timing belt.
The 2.2 L engine and the 3.1 L engine both use a timing chain and gears.
As stated,its probably the Serpentine drive belt ..Replace the belt...check the tensioner as well,could be worn.
If its old or hasnt been replaced in a while,i'd toss it and install a new one anyway...small price to pay compared to the breakdown on the side of the road when it does fail.
Plus the Price of the Tow

Nice catch Jim! I surfed around for a timing belt and did find one listed for a variety of possible GM engines in the year without knowing which were the ones listed for this exact Cavalier. Good work,
