Just to throw my hat in the ring - and it sounds like Mark's got things thoroughly in hand - I had rotten mileage & driveability, with plenty of backfiring and missing, when an ignition control unit went south on me. Actually blew the resonator apart trying to get to the shop... I think this is a relatively rare failure on Kjet though, more likely wiring related - particularly the hall switch leads from the distributor to the ICU.

As an aside, K-jet does have a fuel pressure regulator built in to the fuel distributor. It's adjustable, using shims, but if I recall correctly there's nothing but a ball, a couple of shims and a spring in there, and I've never heard of one failing.
