Default First Timer... need help

I went out and bought the HPI MT2. First car ever! I read and did what the manual said for break in. Took the car to the park Saturday and ran it. SWEET!! Ran great! Went to run it yesterday and it wouldnt start. Someone told me to put my finger on the muffler hole and crank it a few times then try to start it again. When I did that I noticed fuel and air coming out from the fins under the motor.

I went out today and bought the HPI 18SS. Built it up and I am currently breakin it in. 4th tank and 1/4 throttle in circles around the yard. I started to lean it a bit and notice that while I lean it, it wants to take off in the idle position. Also, I had temp at 222F. Now while leaning it the temps are rising to high. 254F

My Q's are......
1) How do I stop the car from taking off while in idle?

2) How do I keep the temps steady while leaning it?

Mind you this is my first car and I dont know all the lingo so if it could be explained in laymans terms I would really appreciate it.

I cant afford to go out and buy another engine unless I get divorced first!!
