Is the serpentine belt making any of that noise? The other option is valves, you can pull the valve cover to check.

Every now an then I hear a squeak that sounds like a belt how much would valve cover seal be? It idles like it has I miss to like a slight stutter.Car needs quite a bit to be honest aside from this problem not mechanical that I knOw of more suspension oriented, should I start another thread or put them on here to?

I'd start another thread for suspension issues. I don't know the cost of a valve cover seal.
