It'd most likely idle high if it was an airleak.

try an get the car at idle speed then get some wd40 or carb cleaner and lightly spray round the inlet and you will here the revs on the engine should go up on there own,

and as dean said it wud rev at about 1500 if it was an airleak and then bog out when you try to throttle it, i wud go with air flow or tps stuck
