If the engine will not fast idle once started you may have to adjust the screw for that on the fast idle cam to increase the speed.
Once the engine is warmed up & can idle on its own push the choke all the way in & tap the gas peddle to release the fast idle cam.
You should be good to go.
You will soon learn the small differences required for your car, but this is the general method used.

Thanks, will give that a try.
