tps

Throttle Position Sensor = TPS. The TPS is a potentiometer or in other words a variable resistor. It's function is sense the position of the throttle valve; what you called an electric choke. My suspision is your TPS is adjustable and you should get a voltmeter in there and check it. You probably need to adjust it for correct output at idle.
