Stuck throttle? Examine the throttle body area for anything that is stiff and sticking.

Disconnected thermo switch on the lower driver side of the rad, and/or bad AWS solenoid.

900 RPM idle could be anything. TPS, vacuum leak, etc. Stock idle is 750.

like i said before...loss of compression to the rear rotor being shot(apex seal)...they will run with the rear rotor bad but will run like ****..as in very unbalanced causing the car to shake..then when they cool of they wont like to start at all...so my bet is two seal are gone..with only one apex seal gone the car should start a little easier...just take out the rear plug and EGI fuse and startthe motor..you will hear three very loud PSHH sound..if not(only one lloud PSH and then two or one different PSH soudn then you know what is up..of course a real comp tester would be better

yes..but before you buy you shoudl have someone look at your car to diagnose the fault..kind if hard to do so over the net...just sharing MY thoughts...i have blown a few motors over the last 16 years and blown rear rotor motors act liek this..but get it checked FIRST!
