Anyway, i started it after puting water in the coolant place, and it runs fine. problem is the transmission barely engages. i put it in drive and it has to be at about 4000 rpm just to inch forward. reverse is like 5k.no smoke though, but i only ran it for a couple of minutes. no engine lights come on either. maybe it isnt coolant at all, but trans fluid?

I would absolutely check your transmission fluid level. Hopefully all you need to do is top it off, but it sounds to me like you lost a hose somewhere.
Don't drive it any more until you do this. The transmission is extremely sensitive to heat, and without fluid flowing through it I imagine the heat could build up real fast-like.
Good luck.
