My car overheated and I drove a few miles. Parked turned it off. I opened up the engine valve, and the water went every where. I filled it back up. The oil sprayed out. So I put oil in it. Now it won't start.

What engine valve did you open up? And where did you put oil?

Remember to never open the radiator car when your car is hot! You could be seriously burned! The only place you should EVER pour oil into your engine is through the top of the valve cover after taking off the black screw cap labeled "OIL".
