Answer
Hi Joe:

that's odd for the most part these cars have no issues at all with running they are a Toyota and you can't kill them. only thing that comes to mind is a dirty throttle plat and throttle bore being that you said the idle is low I'm thinking the is coked up with carbon and could be your issue that passage is a calibrated vacuum leak and if it's caked up with caron/gunk then that "May" be your issue...
