Default - Bad start and seat repair?

so i first thought i had an issue with a bad idle control unit m throttle body cleaning. i did so and the issue is there....

i was able to capture it on video and it only does this when the car is warmed up.

also the drivers seat is really worn out, what can i do? i had it filled in and painted or dyed but it worn off and looks as bad as the first time so what can i do?.

That's not too bad. Do a search on You Tube for " repairing leather car seats" and you'll get an idea as to what's involved. Done by a professional properly, it should look and last like new.

Call your Insurance Company and ask them who they are dealing with for leather repairs in your area. That Company is likely to be very good.
