Default still cant figure out this high idle??

Wednesday I will have to go out and start the car looking as best I can for the problem. Koop stated it was probably a vacuum leak but im really not sure, are there any good ways for testing this theory?

The car basically starts up and idles at 1000rmps then slowly goes up to about 1800rpms and stays there. I had a busted radiator pre-heater hose was this maybe the problem? Any hints as to what may be the problem. Man this is getting frustrating.

Vacuum leak! Inspect closely all your hoses! ;O)
