Several things can cause idle speed to low, dirty injectors and intake valves, plugs, clogged air filter, low fuel pressure, falty ignition wires, coil. When was last tune?

Start with a fuel cleaner SeaFoam works well. Without physicaly seeing car can only speculate. Does engine continue to shake as you accelerate? Or smooth out at speed?
