The radio, lights, sounds, locks, windows, etc all work just fine but when I go to turn the

Please help need her back and running.

After checking it just sounds like its from the engine kinda maybe narrowed it down to ether starter, crankshaft position sensor (since recently a coolant tube leaked and sprayed scolding hot coolant all over it ), or possibly something in the header area. Like I said radio and lights work but when i go to turn it on it seems like its on the edge of turning over but never does and sometimes during this there is a misfire type sound. I just cant for the life of me figure it out.

Sounds like the starter. Mine did the same thing in my 03. Changed the starter and it was all good. They're not to hard to change.
