You will have to flush entire fuel system up to injectors. All lines, fuel rail, hard and soft lines.

You MAY have to change fuel pump.

Once everything is flushed check fuel pressure at rail with mechanical gauge. If low then change fuel pump.

Once system is clean, use starting fluid to try and get it started and flush any remaining coolant out of system.

Burning ANY coolant in combustion chamber will almost certainly ruin O2 sensor.

Once running buy a locking gas cap :).
