Default Help Please.....engine surging

I have a 96 A4 Quattro with 111,000 miles. When the car is in gear with a foot on the brake the engine is surging and trying to put power to the wheels. Also I just had a new AC condensor installed and now with the car in park and idling the engine is surging really bad. Normal idle is somewhere around 1000 rpm and it is dipping down below 500 rpm and almost stalling the engine. Anyone have any idea what may cause this. I only paid $4000 for the car and don't want to spend another $1500 to fix it. I don't know if it might be electrical or an injector issue. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Might be a vac leak. Go to autozone and have them hook up to your OBD port and scan for fault codes. If there are any, write them down and post them here.
