sounds like a bad carb. the GM 2.4 had an issue with the tips on the spark plugs coming loose and cause a backfire which damaged the diaphragm in the carb. You can not get a diaphragm, only a complete carb. only way i know to test the trim valves is to use a scan tool and run them. should feel them clicking when it is running. any codes?

A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
