Default my rpm reads about 500 lower than normal! whats the cause??

ok wel just yesterday i had no problem with my rpm, but this morning when i started my car i notice that it was a bit lower than normal. it use to idle at about 1500-1600rpm on cold starts, now it reads about 1100rpm but u could tell from the sound of the motor that its actually higher than 1100, so i kno my rpm gage is off about 500 lower than normal. and now my vtack kicks at 5500 instead of 5000 like it always use to... what can b the cause?
