Hello! my question is I was wondering will low coolant stop my car from starting? I started it up this morning it was running fine but all of the sudden the low coolant warning light starts flashing, then I shut it off to check it it was low, then I fired back up then refilled it then I shut it back off then it wouldn't start, I waited about 10 minutes then it starts, I was wondering if the low coolant could have triggered the coolant temp sensor to keep it from starting?

Was the engine overheating with the low coolant? The engine temp can cause the cts to act on the fuel system.

If it's starting/running ok, now. Nothing to check, unless you have codes?
