Angry can anybody help me with a prob?

Ok, i guess to start this off, if this quetion has been asked before i'm sorry but i'm kinda having to hurry and type this up. My problem is that my rx7 is not staying on, and yes i am pushing the clutch in. When i hold the gas steady the car will be sitting there surging up and down on the RPMs, . I've tried fuel injector cleaner but that hasn't done the job and as much as i would like to get it tuned up i can't exactly do that right now. I think its something to do with the fuel injector or the fuel system as a whole. When i first got the car a few months ago it wasn't doing this then it alowly started getting this problem. Now when i drive it i have to shift like i'm racing at all times because the engine will shut off in a split second. If anyone knows what i am talking about and can help me, please help. Thanks for taking the time to read this and i really enjoy the site.
