Hey css.
I would look for a vacume leak. I would start by going under the hood then find the hose that goes to the brake booster. It will have the master cylinder mounted on it. remove the hose from the fitting on the booster and plug it up. Start the car then try the idle test. If it idles good, i would bet on a bad air leak in the booster. As for the battery light, i would look at a bad regulator or alternator. Hope this is of some help.
