It might be a bad oxygen sensor. The bad sensor makes the computer think the engine is running lean so the computer runs the engine rich.

yeah oxygen sensor (on exhaust its a 4 wire plug) that can play havoc with fuel and running of engine and cheap to replace so worth a shot!

Yes...especially if it is from bent valves.
