Default another rough idle question

okies.. so i searched for a while.. but.. havent found a solution for my problem... so now i turn to you guys for a lil help please...

okies.. heres the problem...

when i started up my car today.. i had a rough idle... the engine was shaking and.. the rpm needle was jumping up and down.. going from around 600 to 1800 rpm... then when i step on the gas.. the rpm drops again.. kinda have to let the clutch out really slow or it would stall ... then while i was driving.. while already in gear.. i lightly step on the gas.. the car would shake a couple of times like.. then go... i was thinking.. maybe too much fuel.. or too little of fuel?.. it only shakes when i step on the gas.. please help me out guys..

I've never done it but search for cleaning it, you can take it out and clean it.
