Automatic choke not working - 1994 Toyota Camry

Disassemble dashpot on automatic choke and remove and clean linkage. With engine cold adjust automatic choke so that it just touches closed on throat of carb. With engine at operating temperature, Choke plate should be straight up and down in the throat of the carb. Automatic chokes are seldom the problem that you have described Vacuum leak maybe?

I think this model has fuel injection get the cold start system checked out.

If electric choke not working and blade on carb is not fully opened, that would cause your issue...check for power at choke stat, if not, check fuse

the auto choke can be adjusted by undoing the 3 screws around the Bakelite cap and turning the cap until the choke butterfly closes about 3/4 of the way. tighten up the screws at this point.

Remove air filter, look down carb. Choke butterfly is on top. When choked, butterfly closes opening. When choke off, butterfly up, you can see the throttle butterfly.

God bless you

It depends on the vehicle. Some or all manufacturers have a specific procedure for testing the choke and all its linkages and controls. But just observing your choke in operation from a cold engine (choke butterfly valve barely open) to a warm engine (choke valve fully open) should give you a good idea of how well it works. The electric assist on chokes is mainly for opening the choke a biy sooner than the mechanical operation of heating the spring inside the black choke housing, causing it to expand and open the choke valve.

Hi, This seems like the automatic choke is not working best & easy way is get a choke cable from scrap yard & and use that and ignore the automatic choke. I dont know how many miles your spark plugs have done but if over 10,000 then it's worth changing the spark plugs at same time. Please leave me feed back: Malcolm Campbell, Thanks.

if the choke is automatic find out if it runs on vaccum or if its electric. if vaccum make sure there is no broken vaccum lines if its electric check to see if it has power going to it.

Hey. do you have an automatic choke on the car? If so, it could be that the automatic choke is stuck in the open position. You could trace the the accelerator cable to see if it`s getting stuck. I had this problem with the automatic choke on an Escort Ghia once and then installed a manual choke instead.
