was driving home there was a large hole in the top of the radiator so it was bellowing smoke and as i tried to get it home it died decelerating to a light. All the power shut off and then when i pulled over i had power but the engine would turn but wouldn't catch. It has been a month now of sitting there doing nothing and doing nothing. It is a mazda protege 2002.
 
you've probably blown a head gasket at best or at worst cracked the block when all the coolant drained out and losing all your compression and that's why it won't start anymore. you might be looking for a new engine for that car now. I'm sorry to say
