car wont idle when cold, help?

Hey guys,
i recently got my 88NA to run after sitting for 2 years. If I turn the key without stepping on the gas a little (and i mean alittle-must becareful of flooding) she wont start.
With alittle on the pedal, and a crank of the key she starts right up, but then i have to maintain the idle (anywhere over 400rpms) by the pedal until it warms up when she remains at 1000rpms.

I recently took off the intake manifold and re did all the seals, checked all the lines, new gaskets, degreased and decarboned.. the whole nine yards.. i doubt that I missed anything...

I tried useing the idle ontop of the TB but that only brought down the hot idle to 1000rpms.

i searched but couldnt find anything, whats the thermo wax and stuff that keeps getting discussed

also, my port actuators are disconnected (the 2 big things by the exhaust manifold)

thanks for all your help, i really appreciate it!
