I would start with some punctuation. The harder it is to figure out your question, the fewer people will bother to read it.

First, the easy stuff. You don't have a choke. If your Cold Start Injector was stuck open, it would be so rich I'm not sure it would even run (it would certainly throw a code).

You say it's in "cold start mode." What does that mean? Is it just that the idle is high? You could have a sticky throttle linkage, your ignition timing could be off, you could have a bad ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor.

Do you get the "Check Engine" light with key-on, engine-off? If you don't the bulb may be burned out, and you're missing the Code you need to diagnose it.
