u might have a bad head gasket. Cause if ur head gasket is bad, oil and coolant mix and theres ur problem. Is ur resevior overflow tank like brownish green?

try a compression test if ur car will crank up. open ur throttle body all the way and pull ur fuel injectors.

CAR WONT START DUE TO LACK OF COMPRESSION IN THE CYLINDERS. LAST HEADGASKET WAS LEAKING INTO THE EXHAUST SO YOU WERE BURNING THE COOLANT. NOW YOU ARE LEAKING IN THE INTAKE NOW AND ARE LOOSING COMPRESSION IN THE CYLINDER. USE A COMPRESSION TEST ON THE CYLINDER TO FIND WHICH CYLINDERS ARE LEAKING
