Talking First post, the car won't start!

Hey just got my 7 in feb this year. Its had a couple of probs (coolant related fixed with crc blockweld ) that I've been able to solve. My current problem is that the car won't start.

I was on the highway when I noticed that when the car was in neutral it was stalling! "AT THE TIME" If i popped the clutch it would push start. I haven't tried to push start it since that day. I also happend to hit traffic at this time so I pulled over. Right when I stopped the low coolant buzzer came on. Of course having hella coolant problems I had a gal. of distilled water in the car. what was crazy is that when I went to bleed pressure there wasn't any. I had it towed to the house thinking it was the water pump, but turned out to be a busted hose behind the airpump. The car had been sitting for at most 5 days without being started. About 3 of those days was spent taking off equip replacing some coolant hoses and the Serpentine Belt. NOW I knew I would need to jump start the car because I have the fan mod done, and left it on by accdent while waiting for tow. To my surprise the car didn't start.

I've replaced the spark plugs, checked for spark, & tried 2 diffrent de-flood methods. I just had to stop because it started drizzling and I'm working out side. Anything else that I should try? By the way I don't think I'm getting any error codes, and when I try to start the car she just spins. Car is mostly stock only a downpipe a parallel 10 -14 guage wire running from altenator to positive battery lead, negitive lead to chassis, fan-mod and a boost guage.

thanks in advance

J
