Sons car overheated. Now engine turns over ok but won’t start. Is there a fuse, low coolant switch or other control that will cause this car to not start. I’ll be checking the car next week and have never worked on been around a Festiva.

The Ford festiva is a car built by Kia of South Korea for Ford. You may have more luck getting information from a Kia dealer than from a Ford dealer, since this is really an orphan car as far as Ford is concerned. There should be service manuals available at your nearby auto supply store as well.
