2001 Jeep Cherokee 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

2001 Jeep cherokee sport: Just had the radiator changed, after when driving jeep would idle when started. A day or so later it wouldnt start. When I tried to start it a few times it would turn over but not start up. One time I tried to start it up and one of the small hoses on the side of the engine exhaust blew off (pop!) Then a small puff of smoke rose from the top of the engine. Next day tried to start and there was just a clicking sound, waited and then now it will turn over but wonts start up.I checked the oil for coolant leak (none). Checked the radiator underneath cap and it is green fluid. I just dont know what happened? Any help will be appreciated.

I'd talk to the person that did the work, if you think there is a connection? Do you think there is any internal damage to the engine? If not, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the plugs. If that checks out, use a gage and check fuel pressure. All I can do is start with the basics.
