Default car feels like its going to die at idle? pulled codes

just looking for some input, my old thread wasnt getting any.

my car was idling above 1500rpm, or sometimes dying out at idle, just all over the place. i just adjusted the timing and cleaned out the iac, swapped my egr valve, and adjusted the idle. it finally came down to around 7-800. no more crazy high idle. but when it idles the car feels like it will die. the batt charge gauge dips really low as well. then as i give it a lil gas it will be fine. could this be my alternator? or should i raise idle a lil?


also since ive got it to idle lower, i have pulled even more codes than before.
here they are: koeo 91 koer 22, 29, 63, 66, 87, 96.................wtf? this is gettin really frustrating, any ideas on what i should look at next?

start with fixing the charging issue first. less than 12v input to the ECM will trigger all kinds of malfunctions, as far as codes go.
