I was on my home from work, and my car (95 240sx) started to over heat badly, it died before I was stopped on the side of the road. Alot of coolant was leaking out of what seemed to be a bad hose. tried to restart after cooling and adding more coolant, but just wouldnt. Got towed home it is now 4 hours later and still wont turn over. It seems like it wants to, I smell gas and it seems like it going through all the revolutions. I searched and nothing really helped. It has been running hot lately so I replaced the coolant. what sucks the most is that Im selling it this week to get an s13. what should I do!!!!

Sounds like the minimum you will have to do is replace the head gasket--pull the plugs look at the oil/signs of coolant on the dipstick. if there is a sea of antifreeze in the cylinders then it will not start.
