Backfire is usually due to a timing setting wrong or possible fuel problem or distributor problem.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 92 Isuzu Rodeo Power loss

Do you have the v 6 or the 4 cyl.?
You may want to check the cap and rotor, and check to make sure all elctrical connections and vacuum hoses are tight and in good condition. Then go from there.

SOURCE: no power to fuel pump 1996 isuzu rodeo

well i got a salvaged ecm from a junkyard and put it in, still did'nt start. took alternator off to have it checked , it is fine. put it back in and now it starts and runs fine. check the alternator and the connections, i heard the alternator controls power after the initial ecm prime when it is turned on. i have no idea how true it is, but worth a shot. if you can find a cheap ecm for a junkyard (mine was 75 bucks) i would try that afterwords.

SOURCE: water pump replacement 96 isuzu rodeo

Remove belt, fan, fan shroud and fan bracket. Remove timing covers, timing belt and water pump. Replace timing belt and the hydraulic tensioner with new ones. I suggest you get a mechanic to do this as you can easly get it out of time. Not an easy job.

Backfiring and looses power when i accelerate

When you shut the car off for one minute and restart the engine. How long before the symptoms reappear? My first two guesses would be to check out the EGR valve and the fuel filter. Please write back with more specific information. The more information, the better. I don't know what tools and test equipment you have. Depending on what you write back, find, or fix. You may need to run more tests to narrow down the search. What year is your Rodeo? Can you have the codes read? The codes can be very helpful in diagnosing the problem. Good luck.

No power to fuel pump 1996 isuzu rodeo

Try tracing the fuel pump power wire from the tank back toward the engine. I've had a few Isuzus with corroded wires.

1996 Rodeo Isuzu - I put it in Winter Drive and now 1 rear wheel

Based on another similar problem and it was fixed driving backwards, that's exactly what I did. I drove the Rodeo backwards and then would stop and put it in gear and did this for 10 minutes until I worked the 4x4 gear loose and now all four wheels run. I must say, I created quite a sight driving backwards in a Wal-Green's parking lot for 10 minutes.
