An engine running rough and emitting white smoke often indicates a problem with the combustion process, commonly caused by coolant entering the combustion chamber due to a blown head gasket, a cracked engine block, or a damaged cylinder head. This can lead to incomplete combustion, resulting in rough idling and the characteristic white smoke. Additionally, it may signify issues with fuel injectors or a malfunctioning fuel system. Immediate diagnosis and repair are essential to prevent further engine damage.
