C4 cranks but won't start...
I replaced my stock thermostat with 160 today and changed the fan switch to suit. Ran the car in garage to check temp but when the engine got to 200, just cut out and now won't start.
Nothing seems to have overheated, cranks well, but won't fire.
I understand a VATS problem would prevent the car from even cranking so have ruled this out but can't find the problem.
Anyone experienced similar?

Many thanks to the guys who were so quick to respond to my plight.
Someone asked if I could hear the fuel pump with the ignition on, before a crank. I checked and found no pump noise.
Therefore, starting from the most simple I checked the fuses to find the ECM fuse had blown.
Replaced ECM fuse and away we go. I guess water may have penetrated an electrical connection after I washed down the engine coolant and caused the fuse to blow.
I hope it was that simple.
