Maybe some people dont know or understand how adjusting the timing could set off your choke light!

What I would check is the choke fuse, Its right below the heater fuse. Its possible this could be your problem. Also check to make sure that the wires to the choke are hooked up.

your choke light is also your alternator warning light. i would load test your alternator.
