92 lx, very low idle, slight jerk when decelerating to stop

92 civic lx, so here are the issues im noticing:

1. Whenever I am slowing to a stop,shortly before I cometo a full stop the car jerks everso slightly and will jump up by a few hundredRPMs and then drops back down

2. the engine idles very low, at thefirst notch on the tach (500rpms?) after it warms up, only when it is very cold will it idle any higher, and it feels very rough

3. the engine randomly lost some of its power. I just changed the oil and tranny fluid last week, and for a few days after that i I noticed a significant increase in power, but now its back to the same old ****. even when i amsuper easy on the accelerator, it wont shift up until 3500rpm

no engine lights

Figure out #3 first....Got codes? CEL off doesn't matter, there could still be codes.
Then figure out #2, if the above doesn't take care of it.

#1 might just be the trans downshifting.
