Idle jumping 92GXE

Hey,new here...recently got me a 92gxe but with a few problems:
1. when I start on a morning and I try pulling off after a few minutes-car feels like it wants to die but goes well after I start driving.
2. When Idling its not smooth-there is a jump in the idle
3. How do you work the security system in the max-do I need a remote?
4. my power locks do not work neither from ignition or dook lock switch

thanks for any help you guys can give

1 & 2 : check for a miss. the car may not be running on all cylinders.
3a. there should be a keypad on the door, but based on 4, it probably is non-functional.
3b. no the car didn't come with a remote, supposedly it was an option for 94, but I don't recall anyone here ever having one.
4. I think it's called the TCU that causes the problem.

Also check timing and loose/bad wires for the miss/stumble.....Hopefully not maf sensor they arent cheap...

1&2 - I have similar problems. Sometimes when car is cold and I just start driving, it feels like car stutters. After it warms up it's fine. And yes my idle is not ideal either- needle goes up and down a tad.
I've replaced vacuum lines and changed gaskets on the intake but it didn't help.
However I have broken exhaust manifold stud(s) and I realize that it can cause such a behaviour.
For now I just get used to this.
