Had an issue when my daughter was driving the S40 today.
140k miles
2005 5spd non turbo.

She called and said it wouldn't start.
I went to rescue her and managed to get it to start after a lot of cranking with it trying to fire.

So it starts and is missing, but I take off back for home.
Doesn't seem to want to idle but I didn't let it die for fear of not restarting.

low on power seems to get worse as I am driving.
The I start to hear a ticking noise and now its blowing smoke.

Pull over pop the hood.
The oil cap has blown off and now it has spewed oil as one would imagine.


So does this sound like a PCV issue? Would that keep it form wanting to start and idle?
