You mentioned that when it was running you had to floor it for it to take off. I had a problem similar to this with my thunderbird and it turns out that the wire in the mass air flow sensor was dirty. I put some rubbing alcohol on a cue-tip and cleaned it and it has been trouble free ever since. Does it have a fusuable link between the battery and starter? That could have burned out.
