I have recently bought a dsm for very little money, this is my first one so i dont know too much about it. I bougth it knowing it had some problems but not of this degree

ok so when i was driving back from work i was at a stop light and my radiator hose poped out of the radiator and the engine overheaded realy bad, and i didnt notice till i started smelling coolant vapors. after i put the hose back on and put some coolant everytime i drive my car around 30 to 70mhp in a decent way ( not steping hard on the gas, just driving nice and smooth) one of the cylinders stops working and the car starts vibrating, and when i let go of the gas and the rpms go back to idle and i step back on the gas, the car starts driving fine again just for a copule of minutes and it will do the same thing over and over. but if i drive it hard and fast the vibration doesnt occure nor when the engine is cold even if i drive it smooth. it only happens when i drive smooth and warmed . Is the engine ruined or is it something else
 
Just from the little information you've given, I'd drop the oil pan to see if there are any metal shavings and do a oil change. But more info is needed to properly help you out. Does the check engine light com eon when this happens? Does the car make any kind of noise?

You have a 6 bolt in a 2g.

Your getting a "random misfire" do a search on that, and you will find your answer!
