So it idles really low but runs ok at higher rpms? Sounds like an alternator going out. Easy enough to get it tested. Like IJ said, any codes?

last time I tested the codes I got 11, usually it happens on cold starts but that time I recorded it was actually warmed up already, usually after like 2o0 seconds it evens itself out but its still not good lol

Clear the codes warm it up wait for it to do it and then pull the fresh codes and report back.

The car is smart enough to tell you where it's hurting make use of that instead of getting guesses.
