So in troublewshooting where I was loosing antifreeze we found that the over flow hose that connects to the manifold was broke. The car was on and when the hose came off antifreeze came pouring out everywhere under the hood. I have ordered the part to replace it but when I went to start the car to move it it wouldnt start not even turn over. It has been about 21/1-3 days and it still wont start or turn over. What could possibly be causing this to happen?

Could you have possibly bumped a wire and disconnected it while troubleshooting?

Dont think so because the car was running then the fluid started coming out and I turned off the car.

Yes you turned it off so not a wire that makes it run but possibly one that makes it start. Such as a wire going to the fuse box or the starter or even to the transmission.

Ok well we touched wires around the intake manifold and the air filter case we took off. I was thinking that maybe something behind the intake manifold and below it got so wet from the antifreeze pouring out causing it not to start. Could something have i. E starter.
