if your idle is jumping around 9 times out of 10 its your idle control, its actualy pretty comon on 5.0 87-93, when my car started doing it i was going nuts yhen a freind pointed it out to me that thats what it probably was, first make sure your sensers are all working proper maybee get a code readout, then clesn the idle control unit, yhey get realy dirty. In my case i cleaned it and that was it problem solved, but 6 months later did it again so i replaced it and its never done yet for 2 years. just a little tidbit i thought id share with you, good luck.
