The overflow bottle is completely full and the radiator is low, it has also started dying when slowing down to go around corners and then not starting after sitting overnight (occasionally) any suggestions? Heat is hot and A/C is cold.

The vehicle doesn't overheat? Will the cooling system hold pressure? Maybe you need a new radiator cap? Check for coolant leak. Check the plumbing for the overflow reservoir. If the cooling system can't create a vacuum, when cooling, it can't pull coolant from the reservoir.

Just to add for the other issues. Idle or closed throttle issues, clean the throttle body and idle air system. As far as problem with sitting overnight, check fuel pressure. How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes?
