Basically my car needs throttle when starting on cold days...I'm thinking I have a problem with the "choke"...but I can't find any information anywhere regarding it.

How can I diagnose this and where is it? lol I checked the FSM and no luck

I might be wrong i don't think fuel injected cars have a choke.

You've got a fuel injected motor. No choke, sir.

Wrap you hands around your throat and squeeze when your starting the car. That will be the only choke that car has.

Air fuel and spark.... Make sure the engine is metering the right air.... (check the maf, make sure the timing and plugs/ignition are good, check the fuel pressure and fuel rail/injectors for leaks.

Check and clean the throttle plate and AIC. Check the CTS, make sure its not reading "warm"

If you don't know what some of this stuff is, then I can see how the FSM is not helping.
