Low Idling, but no stall

Okay, my dad and I changed the front rotors and brake pads just today. After taking it down off the jack, the car wouldn't start. I finally decided to press the clutch and gas simultaneously with starting the car, and so it started... but would try to stall until I kept the rpm's above 2000 for a minute or two.
Now starting isn't my problem, but before we did this work, the car would idle at about 800 rpms... now it's between 5-600 rpm's and I am scared of stalling... Any ideas of how to do an "at home" fix up of this?

The details of how to adjust the idle are on www.se-r.net, but I'm wondering what you knocked or disturbed that has screwed up the idle.

Besides the low idling, does the engine seem to behave OK?

Have you had a look at this thread? http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t8043.html
otherwise, try reading up here http://www.se-r.net/engine/troubleshooting_guide/tuneup.html

Oh, and did the new rotors solve that steering vibration problem you had? Please post it in that thread for future reference if it did:)

The rest of the gears appear to be running at the regular rpm's, it's just when idling that it seems to be lower than usual...

I looked at that thread, but was unsure if my changing the brakes would warrant any special attention...

Thanx for the help so far! I'll check it out. :)
