My idle RPM's are 1250 at cold start, then 800 after the engine is warmed up.
#3 - that is strange. Jack up each front wheel and see how easy they turn, then jack up both rear wheels by jacking up on the pumpkin ( differential housing ) with the transmission in neutral and check how easy the rears turn.
The fronts should turn really free, the rears will take a bit more force, but once started they should turn smoothly.
