Choke problems, still

Hey all,

I have a 5.8W with an Edelbrock 1406 (I think) with the electric choke. Now that it's hot, I start the truck and it idles a little high, I guess like it's supposed to. The minute I give her gas though, the idle goes real low (when I let up on the gas) and stays real low (barely running low) for about 15 mins, then I get normal idle. Any idea what I should do here?
