Q: Car will not start
I recently replaced the radiator, a hose to the engine, the timing belt, the water pump, and the coolant chamber on my car. Shortly after I replaced the battery, starter and fuel pump. The car still will not run. When you turn the key it wants to start up, but it will not catch. The engine will not turn over. It makes the noise like the engine is trying to start but it does not, so I know it's not the alternator.
My car has 150000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
