It’s just my opinion from 60 years experience working in cars , the beauty is that you can take it or leave it, but bear in mind we’ve been diagnoseing HHR issues since 2015.
I appreciate the help and the knowledge that is given here, i was just wondering how coolant and a thermostat would cause a no start problem?

The temperature movement tells me the ECT sensor is not in good working order. It tells the ECM information and that can tell the engine not to start.

replaced the ECT still same issues. When the key is on ans showing 400f to 100f to -40f I can hear the fuel pump kick on and off and the throttle body moving, also on the video I posted you can see the check engine light flicking
