Hmmm that is an odd one. Coolant shouldn't have anything to do with the car starting. What does it do when you try to start it? Just keep turning over?

And you didn't take anything else off when you changed the radiator?

I mean maybe its just the off chance its the fuel relay but it seems really odd.

I'll pull a plug and check for spark to start with.

How many miles were driven between replacing the radiator and the no-start?

You may want to check for engine codes. There is a link on how to do this in this thread. https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/for...threads-40780/

Here is a good video. The first step is using an old spark plug or a screwdriver to check for spark.

As asked - did you happen replace the t-stat when you did this? I'm asking because there is a ground on the t-stat that is kind of important.
