94 850 cold idle problem 850 1994

Yes, I know the car does not have a choke, 230,000 miles or so, and the car is acting like it has no "choke" when started.

The car is acting just like a car did back in the days of stuck chokes. In nice warm weather, it starts right up but has a bit of a rough idle, as if the choke is not engaged. Bit of throttle play, drive off and when warm it behaves perfectly.

Now that the weather is getting a bit cooler, it starts, but the "throttle play" is much more necessary as the car wants to die. VERY low idle...

Again, drive it a bit, it warms up, no issues.

So, my question is: What is the "part" or "whatever" that handles cold idle speed or enrichment? It seems that there has to be something that "tells" the FI system to run a higher idle until warm?

Hope somebody can help!

Steve
