IDLE PROBLEMS

I HAVE BEEN HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY BRONCO. I LOVE THAT TRUCK BUT IT IS GETTING TO BE TOO MUCH. I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IDLE BOUNCING WHEN I COME TO A STOP. I NOTICED THAT THE TIMING ALSO BOUNCES ALONG WITH THE IDLE. I CHECKED THE STRECH IN THE CHAIN AND IT IS AT ABOUT 15 DEG. USUALLY THE IDLE STOPS BOUNCING AFTER IT HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE WHEN STOPPED. ALSO THE CODES ARE READING THAT I AM RUNNING RICH WHEN DOING THE K.O.E.R. TEST AND THAT I AM RUNNING LEAN WHEN I AM DOING THE K.O.E.O. TEST. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR AWHILE.I AM GOING OUT OF MY MIND!!!!! I HAD ADVANCED THE TIMING ALMOST 25 DEG. BECAUSE IT WAS RUNNING LIKE CRAP, NOW IT RUNS A LOT BETTER, BUT I HAVE THE IDLE PROBLEM. ANY IDEAS?
