The power steering eats power when you use it so it drops the idle, but theres also a idle up valve to the intake from the powersteering so that will make it idle up. Lastly but most importantly you are never supposed to turn the steering on a powersteering equiped car without the car moving. If youre at a dead stop and you turn the steering wheel youre placing an abnormally high load on the powersteering system and youre more likely to break something or wear out the powersteering.

As for a tune-up, Id pull the sparkplugs and check/replace them, inspect/replace the cap and rotor and ignition wires. Make sure your tire pressures are normal, 30-35 psi. Maybe run a can of SeaFoam through the vacuum system.
