bluish smoke usually means you are burning oil. that's an old car so it's not unusual. the idle problem could due to a faulty IAC valve. although on that car they may have another name for it. or you may have just had a vacuum line/hose come off/apart/break.

also check to see if your air filter box has oil in it. the engine may be getting pretty worn out by now.
