I just replaced the head gasket on my car, and it drove for just a little bit then cut off. It cranks but won't start. I've checked the battery, starter and alternator, all good. All fuses and relays are good. Sensors are good. Car is throwing no codes. What should I check next? Thanks in advance.

Does the engine run on starting fluid? Also, how does the engine sound when you are cranking it over? Can you upload a short video of the engine cranking so I can hear it?

Here is a guide to help us see what's going on and get the car fixed:

Let's check for spark as well.
