Did you check spark? it could be that the wires and plugs are wet from the coolant leak. try taking them off and cleaning them and dry out the wires or new ones all together. If you drove it home and it didnt overheat because of the leak I think you are fine. Also to check for a blown coolant seal take the cap off the filler neck (while its running) and look for a constant bubbles coming out.
