I was having some overheating problems, due to a small raditor leak. The raditor got worse and the car over heated worse them it's ever done before. I have replaced the raditor, but the car still won't start. It's turning over but won't start. Can you help? 2003, Mitsubishi Galant, Automatic, 2wd, 270,000,4-cylinder No leaks( now that i have replaced the raditor) Only other repair work have been things like breaks, tires. This is the first major problem i have ever had.

If it don't start, check for the fuel filter, sometimes the filter are getting very dirty and they get blocked.
Remove a spark plug wire from a spark plug, insert another plug in it, ground it to the engine and let someone crank the engine. It should spark blue, if no spark there is something wrong with electric part.
I hope this will help.
