Hi TONIE1ST,

What is the actual problem that you are facing?

The model does not have any auto choke and cold start idle speed is controlled by the Idle Air Control valve which is both electrically and thermally affected.

The problem is THE CAR WILL NOT IDLE WHEN IT JUST START I HAVE TO KEEP REVING IT UP FOR 2-5 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL KEEP UP ON ITS OWN

Most probably the Idle Air Control valve is dirty or sticking. Get the throttle body and IAC cleaned and readjust the idling speed and retest if the problem goes away.
