Choke always on
Hey guys. I have an 84 Trans Am with a motor and tranny from an 87 Trans Am in it. Motor is a 305 LG4 4bbl. According to my guages and the idiot lights, the choke is always on. Any ideas on what the problem or solution could be? THanks guys.

Check my alternator for what? What does my alternator have to do with the choke?

So basically the light just says my alternator is about shot and needs to be replaced soon?

It could also be your choke heater relay
