1998 Isuzu Rodeo Poor Idle/Power loss/Serious backfiring

1998 Isuzu Rodeo 92k 4wd 5spd

Bought it at dealers auction. It ilded poorly and I should have walked away. Must give it gas to keep it running. When accelerating or climbing hills it protests violently with backfiring and poor power. Very difficult to get to 50 mph. Diag from Midas says it mechanical. Compression check shows no bent valves. Runs rich--smell of unburnt gas. Any Ideas
