Default 800 to 1200 idle help

i got a 95gs finally got it done. rebuilt head, new timing belt, water pump, and pullies.

i start it and i have to tap the gas while starting it so it wont stall.
it runs around 800 to 1200 rpms and bogs.

i think it is a vacuum leak.
any other suggestions?

is your check engine light on?? my car once ran like that, horrible, when one of the sensors under the thermostat broke.. the check engine light came on once it warmed up and if i didnt play with the throttle when it was first started it would stall.. and the throttle response was horrible.. does this sound similar?? just a suggestion
