Post 2.3L

My budy just got a 88 lx. After driving it for a few days the top rad hose came off. He lost all of the water but drove it home a few miles. Now its running very rough and will stall unless he keep his foot on the gas. I cranked the idle up to 1200 and it will run like that until he puts in in gear. I thought it could have been the head gasket since it got hot but I did not see any antifreeze in the oil or smell anything funny out back. Any problems to look for in these old 2.3L. Thanx BigC
