You can only get free advice if you have absolutely NO IDEA what you are doing, and if you are contemplating working on sensitive areas of your vehicle, specifically brakes.
In the event you are doing brake work, have never touched the underside of a 10 speed, let alone a car, have no tools, no phone and refuse to speak with a wrench monkey, then and ONLY then can you get free advice.
Further, you must abandon all common sense when asking questions......you must ask questions which have completely obvious answers, as well as answers that can be found by typing a single keyword in Google or Yahoo search....
By the way, how do you take a rotor off again?
Step by step too....:)

NOBODY can diagnose a problem correctly without seeing and testing the vehicle. You will spend a lot of money that you don't need to trying all the possibilities that you get here. Be smart and save money. Take it to a mechanic and get an estimate, actually get several, then compare the diagnosis.
PS. not ALL mechanics are ripoffs. They have to deal with a lot of cheapskates, though.

more details. could be the battery. could be the fuel switch. could be bad distributer.
i had a 2000 taurus, the distributer went bad in it. also if you hit something recently the fuel switch mag have been triped. if so then go in the trunk, and find the switch under the carpet on the right side, then just press it.
