My Acura MDX 2004 experienced overheating and the mechanic decided we needed to change the radiator, we did that and everything was fine. But after then, I noticed the car won't start/crank easily. I initially thought it was battery but even after driving for several hours (after which the battery should have been charged enough) same thing was still happening.

I got a rewire who said it was the kick starter, we repaired the kick started but situation was the same. Then the mechanic recommended by the rewire discovered that oil was mixing with the oil, the oil was milky and the spark plug head was somehow wet.

This pointed to a bad gasket according to him.The mechanic changed the plug and after that the car cranked when we started it but that was the only time, the next morning it didn't crank ( just like it was doing before).

Now we have changed the gasket ,changed the oil but the car still won't crank.

The mechanic says we should change all the coil ( 6 of them) , he seems so confident that the car will work of we do that but I feel he is just doing trial and error.

Experts, kindly advise on what to do.

Just change the coils and check. A good scanner would have saved you all these troubles. Never too late, get a scanner if the ignition coil failed. It's a last resort after all. But also zero your mind that you may have to buy an engine

Why shd it suddenly be about coil ?This is a simple logic, focus should be on the last job that was carried out on the vehicle before the issue went further south which was cylinder head job
Find a technican that can do cylinder analysis test on the engine to determine the extent of damage on the engine ,from there u will know the next line of action .
