BAC Valve

Ok makin my rounds finally driving my RoXy to Vegas again after stupid problems my Coolant buzzer keeps goin off and loosing coolant now. I've notice that I lost the clip for my BAC Valve and it wasnt getting a connection. My temp would go up and down depending on how fast I was and RPM range. I finally had to make a clip to keep it to stay, but it still is loosing coolant when driving... Now every time I start it I smoke something awful until it idles down and it then it clears up. I just recently changed my radiator cap back to the one I had on the car with no spring in the middle on to my filler neck (Just one pressurized radiator cap) . Because the one that was stock in the radiator rubber was tearing off and I replaced it with one I got from another car had in to the filler neck (I was running 2 before the rubber ripper). Here is my question after the long winded explanation, Would my BAC Valve have anything to do with my problems, should I get a new water pump, And put the both Sprung pressurized radiator caps back in with the torn up rubber and spring back in the filler neck (The good on in the radiator and the ripped rubber in the filler neck). I know it's confusing on how I explained it but I quitting smoking, how should I do this thing with the car !!!
Thanks for the advise in advance!!!

The BAC at this point is probably the least of your problems. Sounds like you have kicked the bucket. A compression test will tell you for sure.

i think you should check compression to be certain. if the motor is blown, then there is little point for further diagnosis...

I think I found the problem that my spark plug wire was arcing it was all the way on but didnt snap. I found it out after I pulled the plugs and checked them!!! RoXy fires up right now I still want to get a compression check to make sure she'a sll good . noe I just need to find out if the injecters have a vacuum leak due to it stuttering when I step on the gas at times mainly in 1st taking off or in 5th when about 3300-3600... Yeah I'm over the speed limit I know. This was to my Vegas trip and it's been doing it for the past month and a half!!! Thanks for the help even though yall had me scared I had to get a new engine!!!any suggestions will help with the coolin problem and the stuttering problem will help also!!!
Thanks

So I'm guessing you still have the coolant and smoke on startup issues? It sounds a lot like a bad coolant seal. One quick way to check this is to take off the radiator cap and start the car up, if you see bubbles coming up in the coolant, then it is very likely you have a bad coolant seal which would require a rebuild.

no bubbles all the coolant is going in the reservoir tank and then it sucks back in and or goes through and out the reservoir. It's getting annoying with the damn buzzer

you can take a sample of your coolant to a radiator shop and have it checked for presence of exhaust gases. If a coolant seal is breached, it will show up there.

I had fun for the past 2 days I tried to repair a crack in my Radiator with JB weld... Had a job interview I missed cause it still leaked to a pick a part to get a new used on. Replaces it and also fixed the injector leak so I have no more stuttering from vacuum leak when I change FPD from S4 to S5... Now she purs to 5th. Now I h=just need new plug wires thats why she dont wanna start right when she's warm!!!
