1994 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My neighbor has a "94 Taurus which I'm looking at buying. When she started it up, it sounded as if someone was pushing on the gas & letting up right away - continuously. I am told this is idle-chasing, & can have various causes. Could it be an IAC issue, or are there other things I can check? I'm not working, so I can't afford to take it into a shop. Thanks for any help I can get.
