Update -
Engine turns, so I suppose nothing is melted. I checked to see if Im getting any spark and I just electrocuted myself lmao.
So now Im dumbfounded because the engine turns over with spark but no ignition.
All fuses are good.

Good to know the engine actually turns, you have spark but no combustion. I'd suggest a fuel delivery problem next but I can't figure out how a hot engine would disable the fuel delivery. You'd have to see if the engine is getting fuel next.
Starting issues are sometimes linked to poor compression, but you'd have to take some compression readings to know for sure, and after you've confirmed that the engine is getting fuel first.

Exactly, I'm looking to see If I'm getting fuel but I don't know how to test that without taking off fuel line from rail.
Compression test is what I'm looking to do.
FatJoe suggest that I have blown head gasket!
Nooo

Being crude as I am, I'd probably pull the spark plugs, turn the engine over and see if you can smell fuel in the cylinders, it would be very strong if it was getting fuel. If you do detect fuel then move on to the compression test, if no fuel detected then move to the injectors, fuel pump, fuse direction.
A compression test/leakdown test would be needed after that if you detected fuel. best of luck with things.

ok took plugs out ign coil 2 and 3 were stuck on pretty god but came out.
apparently I DONT have ignition.
My friend looked again and said he saw no ignition. I felt it yesterday but I cant argue because it did not have spark after we switched coils. Plugs were fouled.
I am getting gas...
Update - switched coils around again and test each one. After switching and eliminating ones that dont produce spark im left with 4 that give off VERY weak spark.
I dont want to take it to a mechanic who is going to charge me mad money to tell me something I know.
Plus the tow is exp too.
