1991 camaro rs with 305 need help!!!

i have a 1991 camaro rs with a 305, a month ago a starter wire broke and it sat for about 3 weeks before i could fix it and after i did, i started it and it sounded different and it idled to low....when you put it in gear it dies and if you try to throttle up fast it just dies...Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it???

Any advice would be helpful!

if its not your bat check your alternator mine was going out and it did the same thing. and the starter may not be disengadging from the flywheel that was a problem if you get it started try keeping rpm's up and watch your volt gadge
