If the car isnt starting after driving at normal operating temperature it could be your starter on the way out. Coolant wouldnt prevent your car from starting if that's what you are asking.

When you attempt to start the car does it crank? Does it do nothing at all? Does it click? Need details.

Hypothetically if it was your starter and you have any mechanical skill... You could pull it and bring it to your local autozone to be tested.
