It does work the other way round
what is your issue ?
this is from the factory manual on how it works,,,
The electric choke system has been introduced on the Cologne V6 engine to reduce emission levels and fuel consumption during the initial warm-up period. These improvements have been achieved for the following reason; On coolant temperature controlled units, the choke does not start to open until the engine has heated the coolant and this coolant has then heated the bi-metal coil. This time lag means that during the initial warm-up period the engine tends to operate richer than is necessary. The electric choke overcomes this condition, because the bi-metal coil is heated by two heat el ements one of which starts to heat the coil immediately the eng ine operates.
As stated, the system has two heat elements. This
is because if only one were used the choke woul d
tend to open after a specific time period and not take into account low ambient temperatures, when the choke needs to be kept operati ng for long er
periods. To ensure that the choke does remain functional for the correct time period, at low ambient temperatures, a second heat element is
used. This second element does not start to heat
the bi-metal coil until the engine has reached a specific temperature during the warm-up period.
It is important to note that the fi rst el ement is
not powerful enough on its own to fully open the choke pl ates.
Power supply for the first element is sourced di rectl y from the al ternator and therefore starts
to heat the bi-metal coil irrmediately the engine
starts. The second element is controlled by a
thermo-switch located in the cooling system, which operates by cutting the power supply to the heater el ement until a predetennined eng ine temperature
ha s been reac hed.
The choke system therefore ensures that the choke
plates start to open as soon as the engine is operating, which achieves the emission and fuel consumption improvements. Al so, the system
ensures that the choke pl ates do not fully open
