Exclamation rpm drops & idle...Help please

I gotta 90 Bird w/ 3.1 V6 when the car warms up and is idling it rpms kinda jump around and sometimes it will drop to where it almost stalls but then the car rev's and the rpms go back up, I checked my plugs which look good, the cap/rotor/ignition module are all new, the TPS is new, I checked the vacuum line at the rear of the engine which looks good. And the SES light doesnt come on either. I adjusted the timing to recommended specs, it was off by 4deg. Anyone have any other suggestions? When you accellerate the car seems fine, its just idling.

Yea I have a problem with my RPM. When its idle its like a little below 1000 RPM and the MPH gauge is all the way down. Is this normal? Or is it just me...

oh ok.

Ever since I got in that little minor accident I've been thinking wierd stuff.

Why is there an "ABS INOP" light and a "ASR" light on also?

Also why does it say "Low Oil" when I change it at 61,000 miles and I'm currently at 67,000?
