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?

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.
