I wasn't sure where to put this but

I had to go pick my sister up and after I had to get some gas when I first started my car, the idle level was at 1,000 RPM which is fine. It's pretty hot out in Cali so I turned the AC on. Picked my sister up, drove to the gas station filled the car up and when I started the car, the car started to idle below 1,000 RPM. Like maybe around 500. My car usually idles above 1K and now it's below.

I checked my oil and the oil is right on top of the first line... I'm not sure if that makes sense but here's a little illustration:
if this was the end of the dipstick ---> (====|XXXXX| <----the oil level is here on the first line closest to the part that you pull

Can anybody help me out, I've got class in a couple of hours and I'd like to know before I take it to a shop

Additional info: The low idle is causing the car to shake a little more violently. And while I was driving it back, the throttle wasn't responding very well.

And when the AC is on, the idle gets higher and starts to idle around 1K. While I was driving home, it was like the car had to work harder just to move.

The car sounds like a damn motorcycle right now.

Try adjusting the IACV screw ( backside of intake manifold ) and TPS according to the FSM and Tutorials, Check your ECU for codes, Check timing. Buy a Voltmeter and learn hot to test your sensors
