the car won't have a choke, check the coolant temp sensor.

ive just cleaned out the throttle body and the idler thng infront of it, am i correct in saying the throttle body is the one with the big air filter pipe going into it( and it has butterfly clip inside it) sorry im not an expert, plez get back to me ...oh getting to the point it hasnt cured the problem, so im wondering about every1 talkin about these relays, should i bother replacin them?
