Sounds like it is flooded first, the Idle problem has something to do with bad grounding, do a compression test to see what you are into. There is some unflooding posts on the 2nd generation cars everywhere. Use ATF in the engine to unflood. But ultimately, it does sound like what happened to my friend. Carbon buildup cut loose inside the engine at idle and locked up the engine. Your case may not be locked up, but it does sound like it may have ruined an apex seal.

Good Luck
