Hi there,

the first thing to do is a compression test, if you suspect a valve problem take off the rocker covers and do a valve lift test with a dial indicator, this will show and variation in valve lift.

Hi there, check the inlet valve lift and if that is ok, your problem is fuel Or ignition related, get a run on an oscilloscope to check all the ignition electric this will show up any individual cylinder faults, do this next.
