Car starts, but doesnt idle, after 4min when warm Options

[injection]

Hey guys, have an issue ever since start-up last May, on my 94 GT, st 205 engine, it starts but dies.....if i start it and hold the accelarator at around 800 - 1000rpms ( idle ) , for around 3-4 minutes, i can let off and it idles beautifully after that.....but for the first start of the day, shes very cranky, and wont idle, and if i park it at work ( 12hrs ) it will do the same, but if it only sits for 3-4hrs it will start just fine and hold idle, think it has something to do with a choke, if there is such a thing on these cars, heard that after the car warms up the ECU takes over, i think thats whats happening here, something is not working to hold idle when cold, once it kicks over to the ECU seems to run perfect, any more light on the subject would be kickass, thanx

^^^That's the idle sensor, correct? I was gonna tell him to check out the idle sensor & I'm not sure if that is the acronym for it.

Wow! that was fast, thanx guys, you know what my next question is of course....where abouts is the idle sensor located on our engines???? I know your right, because that is exactly what my car is doing, until it warms up a little, i just didnt know if there was some sort of a choke system, idle sensor it is, do you guys also know where i can get one, or maybe take old one off, get a part #, and cross reference, at my local parts dealer maybe.... very happy, thank-you!

you have the 3s? check celica tech for diagrams where exactly it is. not really sure where its at on the 3s but most likely about the same location as the 5s.
