Default Low idle problem!

My problem is that my idle is dropping really low and the car shakes from it when I put it in nuetral.
What could be causing this?

When I stop at a stop sign or something it falls really low like under 400 and then bounces up again. It does this for a while, but I used to turn on my vent at like 3 level and it would idle out fine again but now it just bounces really low and back up again.

Yeah I'm gonna turn it up a little today.
I think I just need to check a bunch of things to find the problem.

Does it idle smooth? you may have a vacuum leak.

when i turn the heat or vent on it stops bouncing and stays at a normal idle.
What does that mean?
