is this all the time or only when you first start the car?

Well, assuming your Fuel Pressure is A-OK, the problem is most likely your IAC(Idle Air Control) Valve.
Why? Because remember that when you step on the "gas", all you're REALLY doing is opening the throttle plate and letting more AIR, not gas, into the engines combustion chamber. So, if the car won't idle unless you're foot is "letting more AIR in", than the IAC Valve is not doing it's job, which is to "let more AIR in" for you, especially at idle.
A "vacuum leak" would cause the OPPOSITE to happen. Meaning it would be sucking in MORE air than it needs, not less. So the car would actually idle higher than normal because of the extra air, and would not stall/die.
An extremely common thing that a faulty IAC Valve will cause is stalling as soon as you release the gas pedal while cruising. So try it a few times and see what happens. Go to an open road, get up to cruising about 30-40 MPH or higher, and then quickly and completely take your foot OFF the gas pedal. A lot of faulty IAC Valves will not remain opened and will cause the engine to just DIE right away.
