Replaced radiator, reconnected battery and car drove fine then all of a sudden it shut off while in neutral and will not start.

Hi,

When you say it won't turn over, do you mean the starter won't engage and turn the engine, or does the starter work but the engine fails to start?

If the starter does engage, try this. See if the engine will start if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we have a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, I need you to check for spark to the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how that is done:

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
