Vacuum leak or something more serious?

What is your question?

Car shoots up too 3000 Rpms before shifting into second or third gear. About once a day Nissan will just die while driving, steering wheel and brakes locks. Also the battery light goes on before shutting down. When it shuts down it'll crank but won't turn over for about fifteen minutes unless I constantly tap the gas pedal then it'll turn over and die unless I leave my foot on the gas. Some reason if it's in park for about five minutes while idling car will just shut off. Any help? Seems to happen in cooler weather.
