'84 Se project

I have an 84 se i am cleaning up and getting her road worthy. so far i rebuilt the brake calipers, all new suspension, new header panel(previous owner dented it some how), right now i am in the process of changing out all the vacuum lines cant have any thing go wrong there! the gas tank is out being refinished. the only mechanical issue im having is the engine doesnt hold and idle until it warms up so i have to hold my foot on the gas until the temperature comes up does anyone have any clue why this happens? and ill post some pictures later this week to see what you guys think!
