I Need HELP fast!!(clutch area)

Here is the thing I was driving to the store and then I get to a red light and my clutch pedal falls to the floor when I push it. It doesnt want to come up I have to pull it back up with my foot, then it would work. After 3 times of doing that it falls to the floor and doest come back up even if I help it. Now the pedal goes all the way to the firewall and an back as if its just a hanging pedal.

There are no leaks or cables broken at all, my fluids are good and not low. What can it be, I need help!!!!

Could also have blown you clutch slave cylinder. Check the slave cylinder, by having someone watch what happens when you push the clutch in, see if the clutch fork moves. Also as said above, check to make sure there is no air in the clutch line.

Is it the stock clutch? How many miles are on it?

Right now it sounds like a bleed issue, or leaky line to me.

There is no way that I can do this cause the pedal is goes back and forth without any tension.

UPDATE:

I started to disconnect the lines going to the slave cylinderand nothing was comig out. I stared the car and tried pushing and pulling the clutch pedal and no luck. I did notice that the acd pump reservoir was past the fill line before start up. When the car wa started the fluid goes back to normal, after a while it goes back up.

Bad slave cylinder or not evough brake fluid for it to operate or possibly a clutch pedal so far out of adjustment that it's not allowing fluid down to the slave cylinder. The clutch works from the brake fluid reservoir not the ACD reservior, verify that you have adequte brake fluid and bleed the clutch line. By the way the ACD level up / down is normal and not related.

There is plenty of brake fluid in the reservoir, I have the lines disconnected from the slave cylinder. When I pull the cable that leads to the clutch fluid comes out.

Can you push back on your slave cylinder? Check out this video from Jack's transmissions. If your pedal is too far out of adjustment fluid can't go from the master cyl to the slave cyl.

Double check that everything is not leaking at all. I got rid of the restricter in my IS300, and although there were no leaks I needed to tighten one fitting to bring back pedal firmness.

That might be the problem, it use to be VERY hard to push back. I disconnected the copper line that goes from the slave and the flaring on the end was broken off. Now I need to wait till I get a new one to try the adjustment like in the video. Thank you very much for all the help so far.
