Having two different brands of plugs won't prevent the engine from starting. However, they should be replaced as a set. As far as the problem, I've never see a coil pack blow up. You need to check to see if there is spark getting to the plugs. If there isn't, that is what is preventing it from starting. Check to make sure there is power getting to the coil pack.
