When i start the engine I hear a whine after putting it into reverse or drive. It goes away if i accelerate and about after 3 minutes of driving and it only happens when its really hot and generally muggy.

If it is a high pitch squeal or shriek, it is probably the belts. If it sounds more like a foghorn (maybe a little higher than this web site, then it is the "moosing" epidemic to us Duratec owners. Open the hood, windows and then put it in drive and reverse and see if you can identify where the sound is next time.
