how low?

Have you checked your vacuum lines? perhaps one is torn/leaking and is causing your idle to bog down. Maybe, just maybe.

Have you tweaked the idle screw to raise the rpm? Is this a recent happening, or has it always been this way?

have you checked what I told you yet?

It could also be a faulty ignition component.

Go over all your ignition stuff, see if anything is bad.
