It all started with the heater. When I was driving the heater worked amazingly but once in idle it would blow cool air. So, I added engine coolant after it started to smoke and that worked but after that the car started to shake as if it wanted to but did not, so I replaced the radiator hoses, radiator, spark plugs, ignition coil, radiator cap. Then it started to have a delay start and I was told to replace the fuel pump and I did but now the car cranks but won’t start. I can hear the fuel pump start up. I need help please.

It sounds like the engine overheated. How does the engine sound when cranking over? Can you upload a short video of the engine cranking so I can see if the engine is any good? So, will the engine run on starting fluid? If so, it will be a fuel pressure if not we need to check for spark, this video will help:
