choling problem when cold
my car will cut off when i first start it. it will not idle unless i let it warm up for at least 10 minutes. it just bogs down and dies if i take my foot off the gas. i have to rev it up to keep it going. what could be the problem?
I'm a boost creep...

What’s “choling”? 
It sounds like the thermowax system, which raises idle speed by opening the throttles when cold, has failed. Grab your FSM and go to page 4B-61, you’ll see how it work and how to test it. If you search the forum for “thermowax” you’ll get heaps more info.
