You have to start with a few of the basic known goods BEFORE suspecting the FI:

Good valve adjustment, not that one was just completed, but done correctly



Lets say we never did adjust the valves. Bought the engine a couple years ago and just put it in and drove it.

Probably not the issue then.

Not trying to poke at anyone's mechanical skills, but has anything been touched or changed.....like spark plug wires?

Trying to get a baseline for variables. If nothing was changed, then the issue is most likely a failed FI part.
