The problems may not be related. Overheating will not typically cause the car not to start unless it was left running and you damaged another part in the ignition. Start your diagnosis with the "no start" problem. Check if you have fuel, spark, and intake air then go from there to sensors and inspection for anything that could have been left loose when you did the initial repairs. Still nothing? Have the car scanned for error codes. If something pops it will give you a hint on what needs fixing.
Ok im the one with the Pontiac sunfire 2005 it haa been over heating I replaced fan assembly then I replaced thermostat and now its still over heating I dont understand ita not the water pump I was tokd so what elae could it be im at my wits end now
As for your over heating problem, you did not mention checking your water pump or other potential blockage in your heater box or engine. See if the coolant is circulating through the system.
