More idle problems! :(

I didnt post this earlier.. but I'm trying to figure out why my car won't idle until its warmed up!

I have to stay on the gas for a few minutes at least or it'll stall out.
Any reason for this?

More details would help, does the choke **** stay out on it's own when warming up?

Yea the reason for the choke is to raise the idle speed till the engine reaches operating temp. Are you even using the choke?

Nope, in the past I've only used the choke in cold weather

Try using it and see if it helps. If not, we can go from there.
