This problem is caused by a dirty idle speed control valve and throttle valve, do the following procedure i have used for many years to help improve this condition.

To correct this problem I want you to get a can of intake cleaner (ABOUT $5.00) from any local auto parts store like NAPA or Carquest, do not use carburetor spray, intake cleaner only or u will damage the Teflon coating inside the throttle valve and air bypass valve, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

The idle is computer controlled and not adjustable. You may have a intake manifold vacuum leak that is the cause of the high idle.

You need to have the Alternator tested, the battery symbol indicates the system voltage is low. The other problems are due to the low voltage.

The heater will not get warm without pushing on the gas at all times and does not work when idaling.

CHECK COOLANT LEVEL COULD BE LOW.THAT WILL CAUSE POOR HEATING. IF COOLANT LEVEL OKAY. REPLACE THERMOSTAT AND RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP.

Van does not put out heat when idaling or driving sometimes but mostly at idle

check you antifreeze level first off, if it is low you wont have heat as you need coolant running through your heater core
