AB RX7 FC 87 N/A Hot/cold start issue

Hi, my car barely starts even with new sparkplugs. It takes about 5-7 full seconds for it to start but sounds very weak. The car had flooding symptoms before when it was running(cold+hot starts) and I had to disconnect the fuse and crank to get it working again which was annoying and I assumed to be the injectors until I realized low compression can cause similar symptoms.

Right now the car will start but not run, when it starts it will eventually idle below 1000 rpm and then engine vibrations start and gets worse as it hits 0 RPM and it wont bump itself up back to proper idle, it just dies. Theres this smoke (similar to cigarette smoke NOT like a cloud) emitting from only the left tail pipe. It smells kind of like coolant/ gasoline, but it is foul even though I don't have a coolant leak and my coolant level is fine.

Also the accelerator pedal won't fully depress, I can only hit 3000 rpm max if I floor it. Weird?
