Fd Rx-7 sounds like it’s missing

Hey, I have a S8 fd rx7 and it sounds like a vacuum leak but I dont know. Revs go up and down and sounds horrible. When you hold it at 5k its perfectly fine as soon it comes down drops to 800 goes up to 1100 and keeps fluctuating. Cars bone stock with a pod filter. Ill try add a video below. Hoping for some help as I have no idea whats going on. Thanks much appreciated

When I unplug the clutch switch then press the clutch in it doesn’t do anything just continues to idle hunt.
