but I had similar troubles due to cold start valve...
Whatever FI emulates a choke...
I'm assuming you have fuel injection....
ROCKAUTO shows both Carby & Fuel Injection options...
but your symptoms are pointing to FI... (see below).
Check out your diagnostic capabilities to see if you have any TROUBLE CODES...
then start with the cold start (air?) valve ... then
onto the injectors themselves
(if equipped)
((Just sounds VERY FAMILIAR))..
Also try looking up your TSB (tech service bulletins) on BBB Industries site (Free: registration required)
Lets start at the beginning. Is the check engine light on ?
You have an idle air control valve which could be sticking open or shorted to ground. You should be able to unplug it to test. There also could be a gasket or hose that is opening up and causing a huge vac leak.
Check the TBI base gasket, these were known for sucking in near the vacuum hoses in the front. Use a tube to your ear to pinpoint the base of the TBI or spray carb cleaner at the base it will change the idle when it sucks in the cleaner. I will check back to see if this solves the problem. code 13 can be for the O2 not cycling between rich and lean. Vacuum leaks cause lean condition.
When that happens try flammable brake cleaner in the throttle body.If it fires up.you know it was not getting fuel.If it doesn't it is an ignition problem...Cuts.your choices in half.
