CHECKED OIL LEVEL IT IS GOOD AND LOOKS CLEAN. PREFORMED THE OIL CONTROL VALVE CLEANING PROCEDURE FOR VALVE TIMING. WHEN THE PROCEDURE STARTED IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND THAT MEANS THAT THERE IS DEBRIS IN THE CONTROL VALVE. AFTER PREFORMING THE PROCEDURE SEVERAL TIMES IT STOPPED RUNNING ROUGH. TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES AND THE ENGINE RAN GREAT AND HAD NO ROUGH RUNNING OR MISFIRES AT THIS TIME
