Post very low idle sometimes turns off

when i turn my car on it will idle (barely) at 100-200 rpm. sometimes it will even turn off! it doesnt matter if it was a cold start of a warm start, still the same. It will shake really bad too. any idea on how i can fix this?

Have you had any work done lately? say . . a valve adjustment. . .

you could always adjust the throttle cable or rotor for a higher idle temporary fix.

i just bought the car 2 months ago so the only "work" i know of, i did myself. I'm going to take it to the mechanic tomorrow i just needed to know if i could save money and do it myself.

yeah what maintenance has been done to it recently?

you should do a full tune up to it..

spark plug, spark plug wires, rotor cap, air filter, fuel filter, oil change with new oil filter too..at least.
