Ok so a few days ago I discovered a leak a hose by the throttle it was spewing coolant so I only drove it a little here and there and it only took 5 mintutes of driving and the temp shot up to the red. Today I took off my radiator cap and poured 4liters of water since its not taking the coolant and just spewing it, it worked but then I got home I went out and hour later and it will crank and turn oer but not start whats wrong? I also found out that the cooling fans do not work what can I do

If engine overheated and stalled
1st step should be a compression test
if you drove around engine overheated didn't stall on you
check for spark check for fuel and fuel pressure
do a code check
check fuses and relay for the fan first
get the engine running
