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.

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
