04 3.0L Escape Wont Start after hose broke and stalled

My 04 Escape 3.0L wont start after a radiator hose broke on it. I replaced 3 coolant hoses going to water pump and thermostat housing assembly also replaced Temp Sensor going to coolant assembly and thermostat. Not sure what is causing it to not start now.

I thought maybe it was because the coolant was to low as it stalled out originally right after the hose broke, I don't believe it overheated at all, so I am not thinking a blown head gasket at this point, is there something else I could try?

Re: 04 3.0L Escape Wont Start after hose broke and stalled

fuel spark and air, all it really needs to start. But with a computer things get complicated. I always spray some starting fluid in it, and if it tries to start off the fluid, i look towards fuel and fuel pressure. If thats good, Then I start looking into sensors and compression of the engine. IAC would cause it to not want to start if that was bad, but thats after you have established fuel pressure is good and it is getting spark(the starting fluid test). After all that, you come to a compression check, which will tell you the health of the cylinders.

Figure out if your particular engine has a timing belt or chain. This could have broke if its a belt, but not to scare you, just giving you a heads up.

The timing belt is still in tack. one of the hoses replaced is right below it so you have to remove the housing which shows the belt. I will try the starting fluid, I wouldn't have thought of that, as it was running prior to stalling out from the hose breaking.
