my first thought is auto-choke setting wrong (too far on?) until it either gets warm enough to open up, or going wide open forces it off.

IOwnCalculus posted:Yeah, that dealer is local-ish to me and I ordered for pickup at the old price of $43 and free shipping a long while back. The drop to $20ish is recent and I suspect they're clearing them out of inventory altogether. For anyone else, definitely worth shopping that part number at local dealers. if you have personal experience with this kit, do you know if it has the standard sealed beam mounting tabs, or if it's something proprietary to whatever toyota this is for, and would need mechanical adapting to work in whatever sealed beam jalopy one might be upgrading?

Project M.A.M.I.L. posted:I'm not a car guy and this might be way wrong, but I used to have an old 70's car with a GM V8 in it, and it had an auto choke. It took me a while to figure out because the lady I bought it off couldn't tell me a lot about the car, but reading the manual for it the idea was: this is how auto chokes usually work, yes. the fast idle cam is trying to pull off, but it can't really rotate against the throttle return spring. so you need to blip the throttle to get the throttle open (i.e. off the fast idle stop) long enough for the cam to rotate out of the way, and when it comes back down it'll land on the normal idle stop instead. on my car, i ended up just zip tying the choke all the way open cause it sometimes would get stuck and the idle wouldn't come off the cam unless i poked the linkage a little. seems to start fine without it, so no loss
