There is no choke on a TPI system. The ECM adds fuel for startup and cold idle based on coolant temperature. If the temperature sensor is defective, or the Idle Air Control cannot operate due to damage or contamination, you can experience hard cold starting and poor cold idle.

ok,I am sorry,it's not a choke,but on an injection engine,the rpm is more raised when he is cold,and it does not do it.I have changed the coolant sensor and adjusted the i.a.c sensor,and it is not better.
