has she done any mods to it? like intake maybe? check the mass air flow sensor which is after the air filter. i had similar symptoms after i installed an intake and punctured the honeycomb material inside the maf. the honeycomb is used to stabilize the air coming through the sensor, if it is messed up, it will idle very badly. also check vacuum lies, that is the most likely cause.
