Hi, if you look at your equations you see that the equation for r[t] include a term r'[t]== .. + 40.3234 * r[t] + .. and this must explode because it gives r[t] proportional to Exp[40.3234 *t] So there is only one solution .. solve other equations I would suggest {r'[t]==0,y'[t]==0} or fix you equations / parameters.
