CAr doesn't like to idle

Alright well just recently my car is acting up. When I stop anywhere after driving for a while my car will idle down to 1000 and then have trouble staying there, it falls lower and lower and dies at times as well. My Voltage meter isn't even reading 14 it stays around 12 or lower at times. Before all this started the car did get flooded and have a major deflooding procedure done. Could Ihave failed out my spark plugs? I have Accel Super Stock coils with a new rotor and cap. There's NGK sparks as well. But they could be bad though like I said earlier.

well you should check. it sounds like a vaccume leak. when its idling spray carb cleaner around the engine, if the idle changes when you spray on a certin point, theres probably a leak there.
