I have a 2001 Pontiac it over heated while I was driving it and I pulled over and put some water in it. It won't start back. It cranks and spews coolant back out.

Putting water into an overheated and still hot car can destroy the engine. You have probably warped a head or cracked the engine block. I would junk the car as it is old, but not a classic or a car of great value.
