Car refuses to start. Was running 5 days ago, died, hasn't started since.
What is your question?
Noticed hood smoking when I got home from the store about 5 days ago, turned off my car and popped the hood. Antifreeze was everywhere mainly on the passenger side under the hood. Saw a small hose about thumb length had a hole where antifreeze shot through. Replaced the hose, easy fix, then started car and it ran for maybe a minute then died. Hasn't started since. It will turn over though, starter isn't a problem. Distributor cap was flooded with oil, cleaned that out and gave it another shot, still nothing. My car turns over and sounds like it's going to turn on but still hadn't. Not sure what I should be looking for here. Why did it die? And why does it still continue not to run? Could it be a big problem? Transmission is brand new as of January 2016. Alternator was replaced last November, fuses are good, starter is good, fluids are good, I'm a little confused. Much appreciated any opinions.

Post spark test results for more help, IF desired.
Your Dist be full of oil is a sign your Dist seal has failed. Oil attack's any elect wiring and components. More than likely it's lack of spark. You'll need to test out the ignitior. You also need to check all of the secondary ignition system for grounding from the antifreeze. Also note the speed the engine cranks if it's cranking faster then normal before starting in the past it's likely the timing belt was weak and soaking it with antifreeze caused it to fail. In that case you could be looking at bent valves.
