i replaced my carb on my car with one i got from a friend. it has electonic choke and the car had a tpi unit on it so how do i run the electronic choke for the car and also the car runs like crap when the choke is open and runs good when the choke is closed is that meaning the car is getting to much fuel when the choke is open

Re: carb

Elec choke should be connected to a circuit that is powered only when the key is in the "run" position.

If a warm eng runs better with choke closed, it's running too lean. There's a good chance there's a vacuum leak.

Re: carb

I had an electric choke on my old carb and I ran it off my distributor.
