Car wont start
I just replaced my heater core and rehabbed the entire cooling system. After reconnecting my battery, the car will crank just fine but wont start. Battery seems fine, but I am at a loss. Any ideas? Thanks!.

Check for spark by pulling a spark plug and turning the engine over. Use yours or rent a fuel pressure gauge to check that you have fuel pressure. You should have 40lbs or so with the key on but not turning over. The auto stores will rent you 1. While under dash did you happen to unplug the Vats module? I don’t know if it would turn over with it unplugged though.
