Yesterday, when my car was cooling down at idle, one of the coolant hoses cracked and coolant started spraying all of over the engine. The car lost a lot of coolant and start overheating. I added some water to the radiator, then drove around 5 miles to get home. Today I try to start the car, it just crank but won’t start. So, I removed the ignition coil and noticed coolant in all 4 cylinder. I soaked most of the coolant from the cylinders, I also changed the oil. But the car still won’t start, it just crank. Please help me
Never had any symptoms of blown head gasket. This was the first time the car overheated. I assume it’s because the car lost a lot of coolant from the cracked hoses. On top of that, the oil was normal when I drained it. I think the coolant got into the chamber by penetrating the edge of the ignitions coils
Coolant doesn't flow by the ignition coils. That would possibly short them out. Any time your vehicle overheats, your head gasket is put under tremendous strain, and it's only a thin piece of aluminum that seals the space between the heads and block of the engine. It's flimsy, and breaks extremely easily, especially when you have active combustion going on, on the other side.
In all honesty, you should have stopped right away when you noticed your car was overheating. The upper or lower radiator hose was still leaking the entire time you were driving it, which means you were still losing coolant. Driving it 5 miles home with a sizeable leak in the coolant is a death knell to your motor.

You seriously blew the head gasket if you have coolant in the combustion chambers. If there's enough coolant intrusion into the combustion chambers, the car won't start -water and ethylene glycol don't combust. You may have warped the heads.

Impossible.
You blew a head gasket. Time for top end rebuild.
Also, please follow the posting instructions and include ALL the requested info. Thanks.
