Default Replaced radiator, now cranks up but will not start.

I just replaced the radiator, everything is hooked up the way they were. Now, when trying to start it, it cranks up fine but will not start up. What seems to be the problem here?

Check for spark, check for fuel (fuel pump turning on) then come back with results.

With no diagnostic attempts, I start with: try unplugging the battery to reset anything that may have happen and see if it starts. But spark and fuel are always the first thing to check for when car only cranks.

thanks for the reply. Though normally those would be the first things i would check, i knew it couldnt have because changing the radiator doesnt involve those criterias. After a couple minutes of checking all the connections, I noticed the security lights were blinking even with the key in the ignition(New master key from Sewell). So I did that pedal dance to get the new key identified(Noob, I know). And, everything starts up fine!
