The idle goes up and down and I have to floor it to get going, it wants to die.

I have to ask, how long since a tune-up? 02 sensors are part of a tune-up. Are there any applicable trouble codes? Usually with any idle issues, I want to clean the throttle-body, check and clean anything that has to do with idle air system.
The generic basics for a rough idle is to check for a leak of some kind, fuel--egr--vacuum leak.

Hey Curt,
It sounds like you have a vacuum leak, and a weak fuel pump, or a plugged fuel filter.
I thought I posted the 02 sensor was in the exhaust? Maybe I'm getting absent minded in my old age?
