I have the car listed above SXT. My radiator got busted over a week ago. I've been driving it with no water. It just overheats but it will drive and start up. I replaced the radiator yesterday and now it turns over. But won't start up, can you please help me?

It sounds like the engine is no good, if you can upload a short video of the engine cranking over, I can tell for sure. In the meantime, please go over this guide:
