Summary of the thread
A 2001 Ford Ikon is experiencing a check engine light, reduced engine power, and smoke during acceleration. The suspected cause is a faulty crankcase ventilation valve. It is suggested to have a qualified technician perform a diagnostic evaluation and repair, as checking for air leaks and diagnosing the issue without proper tools can be challenging.

How do I check for air leaks in the engine? I have some mechanical aptitude but need guidance for a thorough check.

Honestly, without the right tools or experience, chasing air leaks can be a pain. If the check engine light is on and you're seeing smoke, it's probably best to just take it to a workshop. They can diagnose it properly and replace that crankcase valve if that's the issue.

I'll take it to a qualified technician for a diagnostic evaluation and repair of the crankcase ventilation issue. The estimated repair cost is 360€.

Sounds like a blocked or leaking crankcase valve. Is it throwing any codes? And have you checked for any obvious air leaks around the engine?
