New radiator - now starts and dies? WTF?
I swapped out the radiator in my 98 xc70, now it stats just fine but right when you would expect it to idle, it dies. It doesn't sputter just dies like I turned off the ignition. The battery light and the UP arrow I can't remember the name of stays on. New battery and trac unit last year. Any thoughts on what the heck I did?
I guess I should have titled this, "won't stay running". I suspect this is something simple but I can't figure it out. |
I charged the battery overnight and then it didn't want to start. It would just crank. On the 3rd or 4th try it did start idled roughly for a couple seconds then died.

Problem solved
I hadn't filled the block with coolant, just put it in the reservoir. DOH!
|
So is the car running now? The car should run with no coolant. The coolant tank is the only way to fill the system.
