if he got it from a dealer i suggest he takes it straight back and gets his money back so he can buy a decent car, i know the idle control valve aint a biggy to fix but sounds like a shitter so best get rid now IMO

speedo not working at the odometer are related i think
if it's disconnected at the back of the dial or the gearbox (?) then it wont add any mileage either.
icv are quite dear to buy i think, but you should get away with just cleaning it
petrol gauge could be a fuse ?
