Koyo Radiator HELP!

Koyo Radiator HELP!
So in the past 3 days i've replaced my old tiny fluidyne radiator with the new bigger koyorad r core radiator. Now my car will start for about 3-4 seconds max and shut off. We took off the intercooler, intakes, battery, and radiator fans to replace it and we put it all back on just fine so nothing seems to be wrong visually. Also we flushed the system out and put the coolant/water mix and filled it up. Any help on why it wont stay on would be appreciated.

no we checked all the intake hoses, radiator hoses, and intercooler the first time it happened. it like the car will start up fine, stay on for like 3-4 seconds and starts the AWS then stalls itself out. I was reading around the forum and it may be because we had the hose unconnected near the throttle body to see when the coolant was full and when it was it dripped near the firewall so maybe something got wet and is causing the problem?

Yeah me and the buddy who helped are gonna double check on Wednesday but I heard another thing might be air to fuel ratio? Since we changed the radiator when we turned on the car it threw a tiny bit of white smoke from the exhaust and it was burning richer than usual, what do you think?

it is probably a random issue that just chose this opportunity to pop up...totally unrelated to flushing coolant and swapping out a radiator...even if you leave the inter-cooler totally unhooked and the car should still run.
