I have a 2002 Taurus with 84,000 miles on it. It has a 155-hp 3.0 liter engine. Lately, after driving for a while, it starts making a whining sound that increases and decreases as I speed up or slow down. It happens when I am driving between 10 to 25 mph. Any ideas on what might be causing it?

The first place I'd look is power steering. You may just be low on power steering fluid. If that doesn't solve the problem, you could consider investing in a stethoscope, and placing it on the alternator, or anything else that is driven by the serpentine belt.

Once you've eliminated those, you can start listening to other sections of the engine.
