Good morning,
Is the engine idle correct or is it high or low?

Can you give it some gas and it will idle?
I need as much information as you can give to us.
Can you upload a video of it stalling?
There is an idle air control that could be causing it to stall as well as the throttle body being dirty.

Don't know anything about the car thinking of buying it if it is an easy fix.

Not at this time. I cannot see it, touch it or diagnose it.
I need your input to help you determine the issue.
Again, can you upload a video of it when it stalls?
