Yes check Idle control to see if the valve is operating correctly. I think I cleaned mine with MAF cleaner years ago. Of course check for cracked hoses or loose clamps.

Does the car have any history of cooling issues?....

Let us know how it goes...
When i was purchasing the vehicle, the previous owner had told me that he replaced all of the coolant hoses. Everything cooling wise is completely fine. This may be a stupid question but the vehicle does need a water pump replacement. Would that affect either of these issues?
Thanks again
