basically i was driving down lanes when my car spluttered and had no power as if as coil pack was going, then no power, wont rev and just died! tried restarting it and its like its not turning over the engine, ie no compression, sounds normal for the first split second of turning the key then it turns over really fast but makes no attempt to start, so opened the bonnet and it smells abit like antifreeze ??? have checked all levels and there good also checked oil for foam and all is good all the temps are reading good aswell, also if i turn the ignition on and wai for all the lights to go off then try to start it the abs and tcs light come on???
is this normal?
cheers for the help

Have sorted the problem in the end it was a bloody 15 amp fuse under the steerin wheel no 4 to be precise, had blown so I changed it then it blew again so put a 20 in there as I was running out of fuses, (was robbing them from windows and stuff lol) and the coilpack on cyclinder 4 caught fire! Not good, so unplugged it and getting another coil pack today, must have shorted inside when the coil blew, not good as this is the 5th gone in under 2 months, least its pretty cheap to fix thanks for all the help
