2003 Chevy Malibu Engine dies at idle

Engine Performance problem
2003 Chevy Malibu V12 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 130000 miles

Car starts and runs fine except it will die if foot is removed from accelator. With control of the accelator, I can get the RPMs down to 600 RPM. There is no check engine light "on".
