My radiator hose blew, I replaced it, had a hard time starting it, it ran for a very very short time, died and now it won't start, it cranks but won't start, what might be the problem?

HI there,

Did the engine over heat when the hose blew? You best check for good spark, fuel pressure and injection pulse first, and if that is all ok, do a comp test and check for a head gasket issue, a scan to check any unresolved fault codes will help as well, start here.
