wow
with what your stating i would take the fuse panel cover and get some new fuses and replace every fuse with the correct one to start. you want your idle to be around 800 rpm i woulnt go higher than 1k. . . the hesitation might be caused by a bad/clogged fuel filter or some gunked up injectors. or a bad tps. search for the tps adjustment/check might eliminate a load of the hesitation.

7500?! I hope you mean 750. If it's at 750, you don't really need to worry about anything... I'd just give her a tune up, and find the fluid leak, and replace/rebuild whatever is necessary. If it's brake fluid it could be your master cylinder, or a line.
Or it could be your clutch master or slave cylinder, if you use the same fluid in your clutch hydraulic system.

Good luck,
James
