Thanks for visiting Just Answer,
Is there a check engine light on?
Try this, when the low idle is present, try adding some extra fuel to the throttle. See if the exrta fuel makes it idle better or worse. By extra fuel I mean, spray some wd40 or carb cleaner into the throttle.
I suspect the extra fuel should make it run worse, this could indicate weak spark.
Let me know up to this point.
