Default 99 a4 2.8 quattro idle issues

Im thinking about buying a 99 a4 2.8 quattro with 148k
the problem with the car is that it will not idle, runs fine with constant gas but dies when you let off of the gas
im not to familiar with audi's but if anyone has any suggestions on what i should try they would be greatly appreciated
