hot start

I have this problem too, I just hold the gas a little when I start it up and after a couple second of holding it it will idle around 500-800 rpms. If I don't hold the gas while I start it up the engine starts and staggers to get to the right rpm but will stall out. Also starting it when its cold the engine will start and shoot to 1100-1500 rpms. My car is a 87 turbo. I want to replace the fuel filter to see if that will fix it and because it probably needs replace, I also need the check the air filter. Im pretty sure the injectors and that are okay because I had some one do the head gasket for me recently.
