About the auto-choke, I remembered a possible problem to my remote start. I know , and correct me if I'm wrong, when the engine starts, the auto-choke coil is cool and closes the air opening to the air cleaner to feed a richer mix to the engine. When the engine worms up, the auto-choke slowly opens, the fast idle cam steps down. When I turn the engine off, the fast idle cams arm is still down. The next day with a cold engine, the fast idle cams arm is still stepped down, holted in place by the screw connected to the accelerator cable. I need to push the accelerator pedal to release it and let the coil close. In a remote start my foot isn't there to push the accelerator to release the coil. So it has trouble starting.
Question is: is it only in my car, or the coil should close without the press of the pedal to release the fast idle cams arm?
If this is normal, what options do I have resolve this remote start problem? One alternative is to disable the auto-coil, and connect one of the heater leavers to it, and open and close it myself, leaving it open after I turn off the car, but I would like to avoid this.
Alternatives?
Thanks.
