Hey everyone. First post. I really could use your help.
I have a 1995 Suzuki Sidekick. The car started acting weird recently. The best way to describe the sound is a galloping idle. It also has very little power and has difficulty exceeding 45 mph. The first thing I did was check my timing, and it is timed properly per the Hayne's manual. The next thing I did was readjust the clutch and throw in some fuel injector cleaner. It worked for around 3 days and it started back again.
My next inclination was valves. I bought all the stuff and readjusted the valves to spec. The car ran beautifully for around 3 days at which point it went right back to the initial behavior but much worse. Now the car barely runs. I'm afraid I overtightened one of the rocker arms, but even if I did it's adjusted properly and should have been displaying bad behavior immediately - not a few days later.
I'm sure my clutch is going bad. There is noise that sounds like a dying throw out bearing. But that shouldn't be causing the engine to behave this way. It feels like its not getting enough air.
I'm curious if I hooked up a vacuum line wrong or there is a leak in one of them. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thank you!
