Doesnt want to idle sometimes

Hi my camaros been actin up again. it doesnt want to idle sometimes. It seems to happen when im starting the car and it doesnt start right away. what i mean is i have to blip the gas when my car starts to fire up so it will shoot the rpm up and idle, if i miss my timing of hitting the gas it will not catch and die then floods. so it seems lately when i miss it wont idle at all. it drives fine as soon as i push the clutch in it will go to 1000 rpm then die or just die. my car normally idles at 1300 to 1500 rpm. if i do get it to start the first time it will idle fine it never used to do this. and idk if this has any thing to do with it but its been raining like a tropical rain forest around here. you guys have any ideas.
