The broken exhaust valve spring is the cause of the driveability fault. Keep in mind that a broken spring can present intermittent faults or faults that only occur under certain operating conditions. It’s important to realize that a broken spring can still allow a perfectly passing compression test (or relative compression test) but fail a running test miserably.
