Idling problem

Recently I noticed that while idling the rpm goes down under 1000 (hovers around 800) or so and sometimes the car starts shaking. Does the car need tuning or is it something else? I do not want to spend $100 to take to a dealer for diagnostics.

Adjust your ideling screw and that should do it

Thanks for the reply. I also wanted to mention that if I put the gear on neutral then the shaking stops. Does that in any way change your opinion that it is the ideling screw?

Thanks in advance.
