13b na rough idle

I just got an 88 rx7 and its sat for a year or two before I got it and it's hard to start and I have to play with gas and it won't stay running unless I play with gas peddle for a few mins then it will idle on its own but its rough and fluctuates in rpm from 750-1000 any idea on what to fix or what parts I need to tune up? I'm new to rotary engines so any help would be awesome thank you!!!!!

After sitting for a year, the entire fuel system will need to be cleaned, flushed and serviced as necessary. Clean out fuel tank, replace fuel pick up sock, flush lines, replace filter, have injectors professionally serviced and tested.

Removing An RX-7 From Storage, Dealing With Improper Storage

You can't just take a car that has been sitting and put it back into service without dealing with the problems that come from sitting.
