Too much choke!

I have noticed when my Stilo hasn't been used for a couple days and I go out in it it starts going by itself along the road in the first couple of mins of driving, like the old days when a car had the choke out too far! All settles down and drives fine after initial couple of mins also doesn't do it if car is then left for the day after the journey and I drive it home afterwards.

Is this a normal?

Re: Too much choke!

prob coz the car is running on auto choke or summat and more juice than usual is being used hence no need for the accelerator when pulling off?!?!

Re: Too much choke!

Yes, I noticed the same bahavior though I have the impression that my car does it every time (even if I've been driving for two hours).
I've thaught it's normal but...
