Engine Cooling problem

----------------------------------------------------------------
the car won't start, it will crank over but not start ever since we changed the water pump. we have charged the batteries and given the car a tune up but still the car will not start, prior to replacing the water pump the car never had problems starting.

you need to check to see if you have spark. if no spark check the crank sensor located on harmonic balancer and cam sensor located near rear of water pump. maybe you knocked off the connector

See the diagram below for the location of those sensors

Let us know if you need anything else
