I would look for a vacuum leak under the hood. If the check engine light is on have an auto parts store read the code(s). The code(s) will help you find the source of the problem.

What causes the rpms in a 95 Ford Crown Victoria to go up and down when idoling?

Erratic idle is usually caused by a dirty or faulty IAC (Idle air control) . This is located right at the throttle body. The IAC sometimes can be removed and cleaned (internally) with a intake manifold type cleaner, but this is not always successful.

What would cause a 95 Saturn's RPMs to go up and down when sitting at an idle and sometimes die but run fine when driving?

Not sure about 95 saturns. However, an engine, with central fuel injection, may have an idle control solenoid or an idle control motor. A faulty idle control can cause the rpms to flucuate and may be corrected with a cleaning and lubriation or may have to be replaced at a cost of approximately $75.00 for the part. The reason I say this is because the excelerator mechanism is not in contact with the idle control when driving.

The spark plug gap can cause the RPMs to fluctuate, while idling. The more probable cause of the fluctuating RPMs is a bad camshaft.
