Coolant in the engine!!

I think the reason my car is not starting is because the spark plugs got fouled up w/coolant.

How can I solve this problem?

i cleaned the spark plugs and let em dry but they'll just get covered w/coolant again
so there's still enough coolant in the engine to foul up the plugs
how can i get rid of the coolant?

Are you sure it's coolant? Coolant tastes sweet (DON'T EAT IT! Very bad...).

If you have coolant in the combustion chamber, it generally means bad o-rings. Which means a rebuild.

Do a search for "bubble test". Also, a cooling system pressure test can help prove this.
