Car wont start!

1998Accord · May 17, 2011

Today i was driving on the highway but there was construction so I was driving a steady 25 minutes at 35 mph and my car overheated by when i got home. I checked the radiator and the gasket at the bottom had popped out so I took it out and fixed that. I go and start my car and it will crank but wont start. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

main relay, fuel injectors. Give it another try see if it turns over

i've been working at it for about 4 hours nothing will get it to turn over.

Had same problem few days ago, crank but won't start. Left the car for the night and started fine the next day.

How would I know if theres a problem with my main relay?

it will eventually start up randomly. and maybe when ur driving and comming to a stop it will shut off and not turn over. look up the DIY, and maybe pull it out and back in.

there's a gasket on the radiator? :thinking:

on the thermostat housing?

how long was the motor overheated?

1998Accord · May 18, 2011

about 20 minutes

since I had to fix the radiator when i got back home the car had no water and overheated bad when I stopped. I checked my spark plug wires and they are melted and cant take any of them out.
