I am having some engine run-ability problems, it won't idle

They could be related to the recalls but it sounds like it could be seperate issues as well. Definately go to a dealership and not only look at recals, but ask to see, "Service Bulletins" and ask if any pertain to your problems. They are non safety hrelated isssues not released to the public.
You sound like the Idle Air Control Valve is bad. Either that or the Fuel pressure is low. Your first move would be to go to an Adavance Auto or Auto Zone and have them pull the trouble codes. This will give you a better idea of what is going on. Have the dealership do the same thing and show you the results. If they do charge you it will be worth it, especiallly if you go to Advance first, as it only takes 15 minutes to do and even at $100 per hour is only around $20.
