Mess with it a little..adjust the idle cap screw a little..It MIGHT be the fuel pump also. Maybe your motor isnt getting enugh fuel causing it to kinda shut down but what I don't understand is why your RPM's go higher when you turn your fan or your lights on......hmm...alternator maybe?

I believe the rpms raise to make the alt give more power to compensate for the extra usage from the headlights and the fans.
