On nasty modern autochoke models that might have to be modified to taking
the sample just after you've started up.

Er, they have not used a choke for a good while now.

Yes, and look where it got them: no way to stop when the also pointlessly
electric accelerator gets stuck!

No way to stop?
Are you serious?

You consider stopping your petrol car using the choke?
And this method failed with the advent of electronic fuel injection?

Most people simply turn the key off, thus killing the spark ( and the
electronic fuel injection ).

Now, running a diesel engine in a zoned hazardous area environment with
an atmosphere rich in unexpexted hydrocarbon gas: yes, that can throw up
issues. Extreme overspeed, as the governors throttle back the diesel
supply to no effect. Engine overspeed sensors then trigger
flapper-valves in the air intake for emergency shutdown, since shutting
off the fuel is not enough. But for a regular domestic car?....
