I have the car listed above that was leaking coolant really bad, so I had a friend quickly look it over and he said water pump needs to be replaced. So I got him to replace it after buying the part and now I'm sitting here trying to start my car and just my luck, it won't start. Timing belt seems to be good still didn't disconnect anything that didn't get put back so I don't know what to do at this point. Would of been better paying $100.00+ a day in coolant then having a car that doesn't even start now! It does crank and sounds like it really wants to start but just won't. Also, I don't know why it put 4 cylinder when to be honest I have no idea if it is or isn't. It just glitches when I tried to change it.

Did the engine ever start since they replaced the pump?

If not, the we need to go back over what was disconnected and just make sure something was not missed. I attached the process below for your review just to make sure this is what was replaced.

Also, here is a guide that will help with this issue:

Let us know if the theft light is remaining on or flashing.

Let's run through this info and go from there.
