What car is it?  If its a carbed model then most likely an autochoke fault, check it gets 12v when cold.  Next thing to check is the coolant channel o'ring in the inlet manifold, it can degrade over time and block the flow of coolant, a common fault on carb models.

When the engine is up to temp the autochoke unit should be very hot, almost too hot to touch!

Dunno about that then, could be the ISV or a vacuum leak?
