Overheated car , fixed huge leak from water pump , shaking now

Ok well first my 96 nissan Altima 2.4 liter engine 4cylinder was leaking coolant from water pump, BAD! Someone said just make sure there is always water in it so drove it for 1 week just a mile here and there and made sure to put water in it. Car overheated once an shut down, we let it cool and drove it home. The other day I drove the car about 5miles down the road and it started shaking bad and losing power, like it felt like it was just going to stop running. Now that I fixed the water pump and it cost me everything I had, the shaking is still there. Someone checked the oil to see if I blew a head gasket but said it didnt look like there was water in it, whatever tha means. I drove my car today just across street and at stop signs and red lights the idle gets rougher, also when I push on gas it stalls a little, like doesnt switch gears right or something. I need the cheapest help possible. I bought the manual but where do I began. Please help me, starving student :( this car is BULL ****, every day something else, cant even sell it, need to fix fast so I can get to school.

Hi the car would only need to overheat once to blow the head gasket,, it depends on how hot the engine got and how long you carried on driving it, you can boil the oil crack the cylinder head ect,,, check the oil for water mixing with it (common sign of head gasket failure) the oil goes like a milky colour,, but if you have already checked this then still dont rule the head gasket out,,, it can leak the other way water out of the cylinder head,,, check for any signs of dripping water around the cylinder head, white smoke from exhaust pipe ect,,
But the best way to rule it out would be to get a compression test done this wont cost much and give you a definate answer,, If it is the headgasket it aint expensive to buy the parts its the labour that cost as it aint a small job,,, if you have the manual give it a go yourself and remember you can post on here if you get stuck along the way,,
Hope this helps some

Hello! That DTC indicates a fault in the EGR temperature sensor. It is located on the intake side of the engine, between cylinders 3 & 4. See picture below. You should check for any loose connection, damaged connection or damaged wires. If none, it will need to be replaced.

The knock sensor is underneath the intake manifold on the rear of the engine.
If you got an engine check code from Autozone or some other goof ball company like that go and get a full tank of the highest quality gas and see if that fixes the problem.
