Question Cold idle vs Running idle

I am having a fun time with the idle on this m42. If I set the idle when cold to run good it ends up around 1000 to 1200 when the engine reaches running temperature.

If I set it when it is hot or at running temp at a fair idle around 750 to 800 it is way too low when cold and wont idle for crap.....

I found a vacume leak and once I fixed this leak it got worse.....right now I have a pretty good cold idle and when hot is is around 850 to 900 and seems ok....

any thoughts?
Thank You
Jami......Oh and that is not my car...Just a thought on the new paint.
