I had the same problem with my 2003 Taurus. It would whin or chirp. My problem was my Camposition senor located ontop of the oil pump drive assembly was bad. I replaced it and it hasn't done it since. I located the noise by using an automotive stethescope. The sensor on my car was under the air intake assembly where it meets the engine. I hope this helps and I hope your car runs like new again soon. Best of luck!
