Sounds like it's time to rebuild or swap engines.

however the engine vibrate a lot. I don't know if it relate to the problem or it just I have a bad engine mounts. When I stop at the light I can feel a strong vibration, but if I put it on netural the vibration stop.

look at your oil,if it is a chocolate milkshake color then its getting coolant in it, if not then you may have a head gasket leak that blew out and maybe leaving white or rust colored deposits (signs of coolant leakage) under the hood.
