Unhappy No Clutch and Running Rugged

I'm a newby. I just got an '88 Rx7. When it runs I love it. I Just got it to start up again.

To start it I have to hold the gas to the floor and once it starts its weak,and I still have to give it lot's of gass to keep it from dying. It has a wicked shimmy when it starts, but if I hold the gas at an even rate the shimmy dies down, and goes away. Then it revs up real strong, but it has no real horses when I try to drive it. In some of these 2nd gens, I'v heard that holding the gas to the floor will clear floods... I'm not sure mine does that. I've got the 13b non-turbo if that helps.

My clutch has stoped working for the most part. It goes to the floor with almost no resistance and sticks in the down position. I can get it into gear, but it's not pretty.

Thanx. You Guys Rock!

Try bleeding your clutch line, that'll solve it from going to the floor.
