Set the blower to recirculate so it doesn't suck in outside air

Some possibilities..Your ignition module is going bad, and/or do check this one....the battery cable is loose, or maybe has corrosion between it and the battery terminal. Take off the wires, clean them, and replace.
Also try cleaning the MAF sensor and the IAC valve

Mass air flow and idle air control valves...they both get carbon build up over time....cheers

You may find a blown fusible link or burnt wire/bad connection at the starter large terminal.I would start the car and check voltage output at the alternator output terminal first in case it's just a bad alternator.If you have 14+ volts at the alternator output terminal,you could also just run a 10 gauge wire from that terminal to battery positive directly and disconnect the alt feed to the starter terminal.

are you talking about the window going crooked when lowering it if so then there is a clip that mounts to the side of the window that keeps it in the track so it won`t do this.they sometimes break and you can buy the part and install it just be careful when installing so the window won`t break.if its the track at the lower edge of the window this is a pressure/glue type fit and the track will need to be cleaned,pushed together a bit and use a window glue and install the window into the track and let it sit for a couple of hours before trying it.

May be the timing or a coil
