If its way out of spec, then yes. It could also cause serious valve damage.

I've done many valve lash adjustments on my H22 and I'm confident about the quality of my work. However, I have no experience dealing with problems or damage from a bad job. I can only speculate here. But if I was a bettin man, I'd say your lash adjustments are way off. It's probably not too bad when the motor is cold, but as it warms the clearances shrink, causing a serious problem. And the ecu "could be" in safe mode from this, which would account for the extra fuel. Btw, are you tripping any cels?

Don't rely on my advice though. Get a more experienced opinion before you redo the valve lash.
