Mine does the same exact thing once in awhile. It started doing it ever since I swapped in my new tranny 2 weeks ago. I'm led to believe it's the pink wire (I think) off the distributor that gives the tach signal that is somehow shorting out or getting hot and blowing the fuse. It sucks because when it does blow I lose torque converter lockup. The EGR ties into this circuit so that probably explains your bad idle.

Sorry this doesn't really help, but TTT anyway...maybe someone will have a better answer.
