ey yo, my opel astra combi 1999 elegance with an ecotec 1.8 engine has problems with the automatic choke sometimes not working. i start the engine on a held-down clutch and i steadily release it after the engine is working. sometimes the automatic choker kicks in and sometimes it doesn't. i have my doubts about it being a problem with the on-board computer but i can't spare the time or the nerves to get the computer fixed because i know that mechanics around here don't actually try to fix computer errors. i know that from personal experience. what are the chances that the automatic choke problem is not from the computer and i actually need to tamper under the hood in order to fix it? pic semi-related, its just a stock image

Nope. Try again. That is fuel injected (source: 15 seconds on google). There's no choke, so this is almost definitely a computer problem (or something else that you haven't thought about).

i bought it like a month and a half ago, my old which i used to drive for like 8 years was a 1995 opel astra combi 1.4 so im not exactly used to maintaining cars which heavily rely on the computer. speaking of which, is it easy to fix computer errors by yourself if you have the required software+OBC chip? a friend of mine has a chip which i can definetly borrow but i have never worked with a OBC maintenance software.
