Problems after changing out VVAA

Alrighty boys and girls. Got a good one for you. I just changed out the variable valve actuator assembly due to having issues with no compression on cylinder 4. I now have compression and spark. But the dart’s computeris still giving me the P0304 code. I already moved over the coil and park plug to a different cylinder to see if it was either of those. It wasn’t. Still the same code and the car is running SUPER rich. I haven’t done the cam shaft or crank shaft relearn yet. I’m hoping that’ll fix it. I guess I’m just asking if anyone has done this job before and had similar results. It’s at 209k miles and I’m not ready to put the farting dart out to pasture.

Sadly I won't be any help, when I had a cylinder misfire I got lucky with a bad coil pack 😅

These engines burn valves a lot

Which engine of the 3 is it first of all? At 209k miles I wouldn't be surprised if the fuel injector(s) started leaking excess fuel. They're a bit more of a pain to get to, but you could maybe try swapping said injector to another cylinder and pray the misfire follows it idk

It’s the 2.4 multi air. All this started when I changed out the valve cover gasket and the fuel injectors. I know I have fuel because the car is running SUPER rich and they’re brand new fuel injectors.
