The failed crank case vent valve, there is a diaphragm inside this that fails. When this happens, the engine will run very roughly due to a lean condition caused by outside air drawn in through the engine seals as a result of excessive vacuum. This will be accompanied by scary amounts of whitish/blue smoke.
