Last week the engine overheated because it had no antifreeze in it. After I refilled it, it kept leaking out and becoming empty. Now all of a sudden, my car won't start at all. It cranks it just don't turn all the way over and start. Any ideas?

Hi,

How badly did it overheat and how many times? If it was excessively hot, there is a chance the cylinder head warped.

Let me know that. Also, record it cranking and upload it for me to hear. I should be able to tell if there is a compression issue.

Additionally, here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know.
