Or... the car overheated and that's why the thermostat is being changed. If so the overheating could have caused the head gasket to blow. The maximum temrerature occurs just after shutting an engine off because the cooing system has been shut down residual heat then peaks the engine's temperature. So the head could have warped after the engine was turned off. If so the car won't start because there is insufficient pressure in the combustion chambers.
