Controlled by water temperature, the engine has a "cold start sequence" which does the job of the old time choke. This setting makes the fuel more rich and the idle speed much faster until the engine warms up. Sometimes its the sensor which goes bad and only sends the wrong signal and other times the engine control computer gets the signal and does not make the adjustments. The cheaper part is the water sensor. Some cars use 2 with 1 working the temperature gauge and the other working the engine controls. The second possibility depends on whether this engine has a part called a Manifold runner. The manifold has 2 settings and this lets it change from one position for low rpm to the second position for high rpm. It will not run good with the wrong setting.
