not an LT1 but i need help

my beater is crapping out on me bad.

when driving i let out of the clutch and step in to the gas and it goes, but as soon as the clutch is out if you dont keep the rpms up around 4k it tries to bog and die, once your up to speed its ok but trying to get going it looks like i cant drive, it just jerks and jerks like the worst stall youve ever seen. imagine the first time you ever tried to drive stiuck and it was little jerky, now multiply that times 1,000,000,000,000. its bad. and the camaro isnt done yet.

any thoughts as to what this could be,

even when you let off the clutch completly it likes to jerk and try to bog. it seriously looks like im the worst driver in the world and i wasnt until this started to happen.

thanks alot.

edit: my beater is a 1988 mazda 626, five speed, 2.2l

If you have the accelerator to the floor with it in neutral does it rev easily or bog? If it bogs its a possible fuel filter or injector.

it is also possible the coil is going out. The coil has to put out higher voltage under a load. I would check all three things, fuel filter, coil, and fuel pressure.
