Changed Head Gaskets.....Now car wont idle.

Like I said, I just got done changing head gaskets and put everything back together. It fired right up, but it will not idle on its own. If you dont give it some throttle, it will just die. I am thinking that the IAC is the problem. Anyone have any ideas. I have GOT to get my car running. Poor college student is sick of bumming rides. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Double check all your electrical contacts to all the sensors and the computer. Your problem is most likely there.

Figured it out. It was a vacuum leak.
