It misfires, it leaks water, the engine was changed two years now. The car overheated and smoked coming out. There is no A/C in the car. I am not sure what to do.

Hello,

There could be any number of reasons for the issues you are having. Let's take a look at the overheating issue.
Generally speaking, an engine can overheat due to having a stuck closed thermostat, being low on coolant, faulty water pump, in operative radiator fan, bad radiator or even having any clog or restriction in the coolant lines.

Take a look at this helpful guide:

You mentioned that you are getting smoke out of the tailpipes. What color is the smoke?
White smoke out of the tailpipe could mean a blown head gasket.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
