Not for me. I only know that verb as *H1yeH1-: Hitt. iemi 'I make'
and Gk. hí:e:mi 'I throw, send' from IE *H1yi-H1yéH1-mi. And why
would it form only the present aspect?

I'm afraid the stem-formation and phonological background of facio
and jacio are not known. They look very parallel indeed, but the
puzzle has not been solved.
