Dirty idle air passage could do the RPM bit.

Also clean/check the connectors for your electrics.
TPS, CPS, MAP, etc
A miss is timing, you might have a plug/wire that's on its last legs.
Or you could have a failing CPS (Crankshaft Position Sensor) but usually
when that goes the engine simply stops.
First thing I'd do is clean the throttle body and give it a can of
injector cleaner.
(I'm basing this on the 93 4.0 which is different than the 89) YMMV
