Engine cranks but isn't starting when the engine is hot. It will start cold, but sounds like it's missing badly. It runs roughly, but smokes excessively. The exhaust smells like burnt anti-freeze. Just changed the radiator. The engine did get hot when the radiator split and needed replaced. Any idea what's wrong now?

Well frustrated, I would say without having seen the car and after hearing the saga that you are experiencing a head gasket problem. It could go deeper to an engine crack but is probably a head gasket and head warping. Pull the head from the engine, have it checked at the auto parts store machine shop. Put it back together and you should be set.
