Car wants to stall when gas is applied?

Alright guys, it seems that when I come up to a light or a stop, and then I proceed to take off again, the car gulps for air, the rpms drop more than they should, then it comes alive again. Sort of like it took to much air in or something. Does this sound normal? Is it just because Im used to drving my beater car? The car also has an abnormally rough idle I am trying to cure. Any imput on what this might be would be helpful.
 
Check the engine mounts if you haven't replaced them. When they collapse, it causes all sorts of funky idle problems. Otherwise, could be vacuum leak related.
 
Well I have solid motor mounts, and their brand new, so I don't think thats the problem. I will check for vac leaks though.
 
hmm..

Im doing the fuel filter as we speak. And speaking of pump, it "grinds" when the key is place in the on position. Could be getting weak.
