as usual my car ('88 accord carbed) starts like shit in the morning..too rich, black exhaust etc....as I'm driving the idle is like 3500 and the engine is screaming when I am not in gear. I pull over look under the hood took check WTF is up with the choke??? The cars been running like 5-10 minutes and the choke is completely closed, so I go home and see if I have any power going to the electric choke. I unplug the choke and put a test light in it...nothing lights up in all positions (except in the furthest position to start car which I haven't tested yet). So question is...when is the power going to the choke , only when the started is engaged and running? BTW the car runs fine once the it is completely warm, I guess the ambient temp under the hood causes the coiled choke to respond if the power isn't there.
