It could because you would be loosing coolant from the engine when it heats up, so that coolant is not getting replaced when the engine cools down. The engine would be running low on coolant all the time.

Probably lost spark, look at the wires around where the hood was rubbing, may have worn some threw. Otherwise the normal checks would need to be done in diagnosing the ignition system. Check to see if there is spark.
