Wont Idle When Cold

I have an 85 gslse, I do have a vacuum leak somewhere that I know about but I am not sure if it has anything to do with how my car wont idle while the engine is cold. When I start it up I have to keep my foot on the gas to keep it going until the engine is warmed up. How can I fix this?

if you already know you have a vac leak, fix it. THey can cause all types of problems. When you fix it and if you still have the issue, then its time to start looking elsewhere. Until you fix the vac leak your just chasing your tail.
