Idling problems

1988 305 TPI, so sometimes it will start up flawlessly, but other times it'll die if I don't sit there and give it gas for 2-3 minutes, and even after waiting I'll be idling at 500 rpm. My idle ranges from that 500 to 1300ish, solely depending on startup. This is when it is both warm and cold out.
