I know this may sound simple, but is your serpentine belt still on?

Sounds like no belt....

no belt = no charge (causing no start and low volt) and
no belt = no cooling (causing it to overheat spewing coolant everywhere)

i dont think so becuase it really dident over heat it did not stall or nothing when i was driving?

Did this just goi all of a sudden or was there a problem that slowly got worse? Was anything changed or altered recently? What exactly does it do when you try to start it?

notchbackmatt87

nope this just happen when i go and try to start it nothing happens no cranking or nothing

Well pop the hood and see if the belt is on and routed correctly, that will rule out that problem.

all the hoses still attached? my lower radiator hose came off the other day... it was a mess.
i don't know about the voltage though. bad battery? or perhaps it wasn't connected properly? did you tighten down the terminals?
