I assume you have a carby on the engine.Is the auto choke is at the top of the carby and is attached to the top butterfly directly under the air cleaner. Normally a round black cap held in place by 3 screws in a metal ring. Loosen the screws and turn the black cap slightly to close off the butterfly slightly when cold. You will need to press on the accelerator to activate a ratchet cam to allow the choke to work

Check the Air Intake Temperature sensor, that is used by the control module to determine when to start and stop the choke. The AIT is mounted on the air intake.

Well it doesn't have a choke. There are a couple of common problems for this symptom. One is a defective Idle air control motor. The other is leaking intake manifold gaskets.

Automatic choke problems

Yes, spring may have broken or maybe it just needs adjustment. There is a high idle cam that makes the card idle higher when the choke is closed or partly closed.

Jeep starts and stutters when cold but when it warms up it runs fine

1997? Do you happen to have a carburator? If so, I'd say you have a problem with the carb's choke. Either it needs adjusting or it's not working.

I have a 1998 Ford Explorer, 2wd, 4.0L SOHC 6cyl. It won't idle when cold. Once it's warm, it runs fine. Codes coming up is running lean. Could it be my coolant temp sensor?

Check for vacuum leaks. this is the main cause for lean codes. Definitely not the coolant sensor. Let me know there are other things also.

Runs rough and misses badly when cold. once warm it runs fine.

This sounds like a problem with your choke. Check that the choke shafts are free and that the choke is able to close when the engine is cold. A spray with penetrating oil will often be enough to free the choke. Otherwise check that the system that operates the choke is functioning.

Check your automatic choke, adjust your idle, check your timing since you changed the plugs and wires. good luck and remember to rate all the solutions you get, thanx.

If carburated, I would suspect a sticking choke, making the fuel mix way too rich.
