My Ford Probe won't start now that I have replaced the radiator, what could this be? I hooked everything up exactly the way it was.

My Ford Probe won't start now that I have replaced the radiator.
Is the engine cranking over and refusing to start or just won't crank at all ?

It cranks, but it won't catch. Seems like it isn't getting gas.

Do below and tell me what happened-this is where we start
Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
