Installed a new radiator and both hoses. After the new install I tried to start the car but it will not start. The battery is fully charged, the plugs are fairly new, it is getting gas to the cylinders, (the plugs were wet). It turns over good. It ran really good up to this point. The air cleaner is new. Is there a reset set switch? Possible bad neutral switch? Not getting any spark to the plugs as tested. Do not know where to go next. Thank you!

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros. Com.

Check and confirm that the crankshaft position sensor wasn't disconnected. I attached two pictures to help you locate it. The lower radiator is right next to it on the engine.

Let me know if this helps.
