The drivability issue you describe has a multitude of possible causes. The best advice I can give you is that you take/tow the vehicle to the local/nearest Hyundai Service Department and have it properly diagnosed. Possible causes:
#1. Fuel delivery (Fuel Pump pressure, Injector(s) clogged/leaking)
#2. Vacuum Leak(s)
#3. Faulty Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)
#4. Electrical (Wiring)
#5. Faulty Sensors (Crank Position Sensor, Cam Position Sensor, Idle Speed Control Actuator, Faulty Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor, etc.)
#6. Contaminated Fuel
#7. Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Best advice, get is properly diagnosed.

There are several possible causes for the drivability issue you describe. I'd be guessing at this point with the limited information here. Best advice, take it to an authorized Hyundai Service Department & have it properly diagnosed. This way you'll find out exactly what the problem is and what it will take to fix it.

Clean the throttle body inside, especially around where the throttle plate sets. I use brake clean and a tooth brush.

The air conditioning blows cold when at idle or low RPM's. It blows hot at faster RPM's that include most driving, especially highway speeds. What do I need to fix?

It is possbile that you may be low on freon in your pickup and you may need to have it recharged this will run you about 60 dollars.

While driving 2ooo silhouette van, the rpm gauge goes erratic and the change engine oil light comes on, followed by battery light, then it feels like transmision slips or en gine stalls and comes back on...

sounds like your alternator is about to go out, not feeding enough currant to the electrical components that need it, i.e. ECM , ESM..and so on.
you may want to have that checked or replaced.
always a good idea to replace the battery when replacing the alternator.

Engine will rev. No drop in speed, no increase in

likely what you are seeing is the first signs of slipping. If permitted to continue, likely it will get worse and you will then lose a bit of speed when it happens. In warmer weather the trans runs a bit hotter and will react to that. If you cannot hear the revs increasing but the tach says they are, it's also possible that for some reason the tach isn't reading correctly. Any good tech should be able to tell the difference. Problem I have is that I'm here and can't drive it to give you a "definite" on either.The only way to verify this yourself would be to attach an external tach to the engine and compare the rpms of the one in your dash to that one.

1994 Buick Century - high idle, hesitation @ speed & little power

Have u checked to make sure that the fuel filter isn't plugged, and it could be possible that the fuel pump is bad -being cracked or haveing a bad seal in it allowing fuel to leak back in the gas tank, as soon as your fuel pump warms up the leak would expand dropping your power

Runs erratically

The idle air valve (located below the throttle body) provides the control for constant idle speed. In order to set the correct air valve opening to achieve constant idle speed, the fuel injection control unit uses information from the air mass meter, throttle valve switch and the ignition control unit (RPM signal) to regulate the output current to the idle air valve. This means that the idle valve is not affected by air leaks or a jammed throttle valve.
