Exclamation waterpump question. urgent!

Alright so i replaced my crank seal and waterpump seal, i put everything back together and now the water is not being circulated when i have the car on. I know this because i went to bleed the coolant system and no water was squirting out so then i took off the upper waterpump hoses and nothing came out, they were bone dry. Im pretty confident i installed everything the right way, especially the water pump drive coupling. I dont know whats going on, please help

Try adding more coolant/water mixture. Remember the system needs to fill up the block too (not just the radiator).

I don't know about that problem, but did you remember to put the coupling back on from the w/p to the spline drive coming out of the timing cover?

Alright i figured out the car dieing problem, turns out i had my MAF plugged in when i didnt have my elbow on, i unplugged it and it starts fine. Im 100% sure i put the coupling back in (i actually lost it and had to go to dealer and buy a new one). I added enough water and still no coolant bleeding out of valves
