Presume this is a non-turbo engine. Remove engine timing belt, drain coolant, remove and replace the water pump mounted on the front left of the engine, and re-assemble.

The throttle cable could be stuck, otherwise your idle sensor may have gone bad. I would suggest testing the sensor with a meter.
The power steering fluid in
There are "O" rings "everywhere" in hydralic, (sterring & Transmission) systems. Before spending hundreds, spend about $30.00 on some investigative/diagnostic tooling. You can buy an economical "UVL" (ultra violet light) battery operated from between $19.99 - $26.99 at most stores. invest in a small vial of "universal UV" fluid that mixes with oils & freons. Add an ounce, when you add your fluid. When the fluid is low, go out at night, open the hood (or turn your garage lights off) & check all connections with the Ultra Violet "teat" lamp.......It ( the problem) will stick out like a sore thumb. Benefit, You will have the tools for future use.
