finished head gasket, now hard start, high idle

I finished yesterday replacing the headgasket in my '89 turbo. I bought the car a few weeks ago knowing it was bad but it was a great deal. Prior to the repairs, it started very hard and had a high idle until it warmed up, but I thought it might be because of coolant in the cylinders.
Anyway, I got everything bolted back together yesterday and it still starts with great difficulty, if at all, and when it does the idle speed is almost 3000 rpm. If I unplug the AMM the idle settles down into the correct range.
What things should I be looking at?
