Bad idle and acceleration, need help.
This just started happening yesterday.
At first, it was only when i was accelerating, and it would hesitate pretty bad.
But today, It idles horrible, and accelerates even worse.
I had the codes checked, and i got coolant temperature, and secondary air injection.
Do these affect idle? and how hard is it to fix this??
I bought a thermostat too.

You know... Instead of uselessly bumping your post you could have tried the nifty search feature... "Coolant+temperature+sensor+location" seems logical... Near the bottom of that search page is this thread:
coolant temperature sensor

But what were the codes your received. You may actually want to diagnose the problem before just replacing components.
On your idle issue, a few DIY preventative maintenance items may be in order. Such as cleaning your MAF sensor, throttle body (including the IAC sensor), and EGR valve; much of which is covered in various threads found in the Tech Article (DIY) section.
