Default Sizuki sidekick - 4 door

Anybody fool with the Suzuki Sidekick or Samurai?

I have a vandalized 4 door sidekick that we keep at the deer lease. All the windows, and glass had been broken, and it sat for quite a few years. We got it running, new head gasket wheel bearing and header and misc other pieces. It backfired and make loud noise like maybe it blew out the muffler. Now it has lost a lot of power.

I think maybe the muffler internally collapsed and holding too much back pressure, and maybe timing caused it? My son thinks it is valve clearance.

Any experience and recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks.

Had several. @amned thing will run forever. Muffler....or converter is plugged. Remove one or the other, ignore CEL. God himself can't kill one of those things. After the apocalypse....they'll still all run. Don't get me started on the Samurai with the fuel-injected Ford V6 I built years ago. Genuine kill-yourself-kit. Get the women and children offa' the streets......

You gotta' grow old....but you don't gotta' grow up. I'm a prime example.

Luv it!

Looked at a Sami with a 1.8L? fuel injected motor that PO had installed. Ran great! It had a lift with SOA and I had to jump to get into it. I wanted to buy it just for the motor! I'm not sure the owner new what he had.
Ill check muffler, no converter!
