95 C4 not starting

[Lewis117]

It had a split radiator, had it running 4 weeks ago, just for a few mins to keep everything moving

Had a new radiator fitted over weekend, on Monday I went to start it in order to bleed the new cooling system but nope.....

It's firing slightly so it's got spark

I've had a look at fuel pump and thats got power to the relay and you can here it prime once ignition is on so that's good

But it just will not fire enough to start

Any help appreciated

Being it is a 1995, so it is OBD2

Anything showing on the dash as to issues ?
Have you inserted an error code reader into the diagnostics 16 pin port under the dash and see what errors it reports ?
Have you checked the engine oil to see if any coolant is showing in the oil ?

Is battery fully charged and try disconnecting one of the battery cables for a few seconds, reconnect and see if any difference

I believe as with my 94, a 95 has an optispark. Could water from the radiator swop have got on or in it. I had that issue, misfiring stalling, then running fine, but not for long. Threw up all sorts of codes. In the end fitted a new opti & water pump & it was a new car!

Yes, that would be a valid issue if coolant got into that module
That is why he needs a ODB2 error code reader or a OBD2 scanner plugged in and see if and what DTC tripped and if the check engine light stays on
