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.
