Supra n00b please help!

I just picked up an MKII from some hillbilly's girlfriend on the south side, and somethings wrong with it. I put the pedal to the floor, and nothing. It takes a loooong time to hit its powerband, which is (from what i can tell) about 3500 - 5000 revs. The idle was waay low, so I tightened the idle cable to the max and its still at around 650 rpms. It dies at most stops. The suspension feels a little wobbly, but then my previous car was a 240SX, maybe thats just how other cars feel. It's an automatic, and it feels like the U-joints are about to snap whenever i drop it into gear. There are, of course, quite a few cosmetic problems. Average dings and dents, alittle paint peel, but thats it. If you know how I can get this engine problem worked out, pleeeease let me know. Until I can get it fixed, I'll be driving the 240, in which most of the frame is completely rusted through. So please, respond quickly and save my life.
