cyberfox; We need just a bit more information. What year, make, model, engine size are we dealing with? Is this a forklift? A super tanker? ect. If it is a problem with a choke, that tells us that it is an older model engine with a carburetor. Some chokes are electrically heated, some 'mechanically heated via manifold, some coolant heated.....Just give us a chance. LOL.

Loren - Chrystal Ball back on line - It's an air craft carrier using way too much fuel!

My guess would've been the Colts. They automatically choke when ever they get to the playoffs...
Not this year......auto choke not working properly

Tom; That was a dumb answer. Everyone knows that the flux capacitor must match the influx of the choke for it to work properly. Like, duh, dude!

Ok Darth, actually I really thought it was trouble with the Biodefriculator in the influx capacitor!
May the force be with you!

leave the car to get cold (first thing in the morning is best) and don't touch the accellorator peddle.
Don't start the engine
carefully remove the air filter housing cover.
Look down into the carburettor venturi.
the highest flap visible is the choke flap.
The choke flap will be open/partially open
press the accellorator peddle all the way down and slowly release the accellorator peddle back to the top and then take your foot away. (this is how you set a working semi-automatic choke)
look into the carb again. The choke flap (if working properly should now be pretty much closed (there will be a tichy gap) the choke is now on.
fit the filter cover again and start the engine.
Run the engine for 10 minutes then switch off.
Take the cover off again and the choke flap should have opened up again.
if yours does all of this then its working fine. Hope this helps you.
(on edit - Please remove signature links. This thread is a joke so far as we don't know what the heck the vehicle is! Appreciate the suggestions but there were VV {variable venturi} carbs that didn't use a typical choke and without knowing we are lost)

Hope you had a sense of humor there,
If it has a carburetor and no manual choke it's an automatic one and 99% of them won't flip to choke mode when cold unless you depress the throttle/gas pedal. Subsequent warm starts shouldn't require that.
That is all standard for chokes on automobiles,

I'm not familiar with that model but you can try some basics that apply to all fuel injection engines.
The 1st would be to make sure the throttle body is clean. Get some throttle body cleaner, open the intake & clean it real well with a little brush & clean rag. Also take of the IAC motor (idle air control motor mounted on the side of the throttle body) & clean that. After clean, make sure it works. Start the car & the idle should raise by itself and then come down, how long it stays raised depends on whether the engine is cold or hot. It will stay high longer when cold, when hot it will go high & then come down pretty fast to the normal range..........
