Default Car dont Start and coolent missing

Ok here we go. Did a swap about a month ago JDM b18c new clutch timing belt tensionr and so on. I DID not replace the spark plugs.but i have new ones installed

Now the car starts and runs but when i stop to turn it off it woult start back up. not sure what could be wrong.

Not sure if i should replace the fuel filter do you think it could be the problem. what do you think.

Also i was driving my car the other day ran fine. stopped to get something to drink turned the car on and let it ran. i got outside of my car to drink my drink for about 10 minutes not realizing the car was overheating. i put coolent in the overflow box. 2 days later its all gone. do you think im leaking coolant.

Unless someone is stealing your coolant and it's empty, you're leaking it somewhere! How does the oil filler cap look on the inside? What level is your oil on the stick?

Does the car overheat with coolant in the overflow bottle?

Can't help with the warm start though, maybe main relay??

Usually a main relay doesnt cause your car to over heat and coolant loss ,but will cause starting issues. You might have a air lock in your cooling system, tell me this if you run the car for awhile get it good and hot does it act up? Loss coolant, overheat, and not start?
