Welcome Tony.

It really sounds like your second problem is the IACV (idle/intake air control valve). Do a seach using those letters (IACV) or you can spell out the name. The search will bring up tips on how to deal with it.

As for your original problem, I'm not too sure about. I'm sure someone can provide you some feedback on how to go about dealing with the problem.
