no its a ommon problem with the 1.0 3cyl engines, you can try adjusting the idle but it didnt help me much

3 cylinder engines will idle lumpy, but not low, they are two different things..do you have rev counter?

does it feel like its going to cut out?
if so i would do what DaveyLC said, much cheaper than replacing the ICV
