okay i just installed my water pump and now my car won't fire up

it started up just fine at first and now it won't fire checked the plugs isn't flooded oh yeah one more thing i removed the sensor off of the top of the radiator and grounded it off because the add coolant buzzer would not go off after i replaced the water pump (old one went out bad bearing) and now the idle won't go below 2000 rpm u think that could be the reason for that problem?.. wish it would start up so i could find out please help .. and don't say search cuz its not working for sum reason

well it wouldn't go off because the coolant wasn't full or fully burped... its there for your protection and you should use it.

as for the problem, did you mess with the green plug on the back of the housing?? its the coolant sensor for the ecu and if its messed up the ecu will adjust based on whatever temp it thinks its getting....

otherwise any other plugs you could've hit/messed up?
