Car won't start - Coolant line broke
Hello,
The problem occured after I changed my fluids, engine and tranny, and then went for a test drive. My turbo side coolant line burst on me and I spilled all my coolant on the ground after I parked (1 mile driving from home). From what I can recall the gauge cluster read that I didn't overheat. The gauge was middle temp reading. I had the car towed home and tried to start it to put into the garage to work on. The car won't turn over and I cannot understand why. It doesn't make sense to me how a broken coolant line can prevent me from starting the car.
I've disconnected the IC piping to test if the turbos locked up and prevented me from turning over. No change in status.
Please help, I'm baffled.

You can prevent flooding by making sure the car is warmed up before shutdown.
