2001 Mercury Sable with a 3.0 "S" engine code. Engine idols up and down when I put on any of the climate controls.. Why is that?

Perform a Idle speed control valve cleaning and a throttle valve cleaning, use throttle valve spray cleaner only (available at any auto parts store for about $5). After cleaning disconnect the battery negative cable for 5 minutes to facilitate an idle speed relearn.

99 mercury sable automatic trans vehicle idles very low randomly even stalls out sometimes high idle occurs as well reaches about 4000 rpm at times. engine light threw 4 codes, all to do with o2 sensors...

Sounds like a broken or torn vacum hose, pcv valve clogged, or bad Idle air control motor. Did you spray carb cleaner on vacum hoses or near the plastic intake., and did the motor rev up or down? Those codes represent a lean condition which means most like a vacum leak or clogged idle air motor. Sometimes the intake manifolds crack or the intake manifold gaskets crack. FInd that vacum leak or inpect iac motor

1999 Mercury Sable 24v OHC engine, starts normal but when engine begins to idle it runs rough and dies

this is a difficult one..
check for vacuum leaks by possibly a visual inspection and then spraying starting fluid around hoses , intake and so on..if any change, you might have found a vacuum leak/bad gasket.
otherwise, DO clean the Idle Air Control Valve 1st.
then check and clean EGR valve next..
