I replaced the radiator on my 98 S70 GLT and now the car won't start. The lights and other electrical things come on when I turn the ignition, so I don't think it's the battery. Also there is a cranking noise, but the engine doesn't turnover. Any ideas what the problem may be?

Did you disconnect the battery if so computer probably has to undergo a relearning process-if not and its cranking over and will not start

I did try to disconnect the batt so the computer could reset itself. Still didn't start.
