So my idle feels like jerky and weak, sounds like it's gonna die. This jyst started happening today after I picked the dart up from the tire shop. Any ideas whats going on?
 
broken vacuum hose somewhere around the carb
or a vacuum leak.

stuck choke maybe.
or crap in the carb.

Just guessing, but a good dowsing of carb medic while idleing should isolate the problem.
 
I'd start with the simple stuff if it was ok before, and it isnt now, It's probably comething stupid. Go over the spark plug wires, making sure they are all on properly. If that doesnt help, pull the plugs and look at them. Maybe one got fouled out with a rookie starting it.
 
I don't know what it was, but I played with the choke and everything else, hit it with a healthy dose of carb cleaner, and its running smooth now
