Something seems to be wrong with my car.

I still haven't been able to adjust the idle to be quite right, it's too low and then I fix it and then drive a while, then it's too low again. What could this be, cold start valve or something like this not working?

Next problem is that it'll turn on, and drive around, and after I shut it down and come back to it a while later, it won't turn on. It'll turn but like it seems like it's not getting gas because it's not even trying to start, and there is spark. So I mess around with the relays in the fuse box, pulling them out and putting them back in, and then it'll start. What's going on with that?

Thanks for the help, and here's a pic
