I recently had my catalytic converter clog, over heated engine and blew off top of radiator. Replaced radiator and converter but now car won't start. Has spark but won't start. Car is fuel injected. Any ideas??

Hello and thanks for donating


Since the engine was overheated you will want to check compression on the cylinders. The head may have cracked from temperature , this will leak compression out and not allow engine to start.
