sounds like you got more electrical problems than i would ever want to think about, i would start by checking ALL your wiring and fuses. sounds like you have something draining alot of power someware, could be a bad wire, check your grounds too

For the throttle problem it could be that there is a leak in your fuel line and when you let the car sit for a little all the pressure leaks out and you have to pump the gas to get the fuel pressure back up, to test it you can go outside and confirm it wont start, then turn the key off, and turn it to the "ON" position but do not start it, just let the fuel pump turn on. Then turn the car off and repeat that a few more times, then try to start the car and see if thats the problem. Hope I helped.
