That sounds like the choke is set too rich. It should be FULLY open after a half hour drive and it should STAY wide open for at least several minutes when the car is shut down hot after a drive of several miles.

If holding the choke open allows the car to start, that points directly to an overchoking situation. (Flooding)

Normally, in summer weather, the automatic choke will rapidly open part way as soon as the engine starts and be fully open within a minute or so of starting the engine for the first time.

It should stay wide open during normal operation.

It should not begin to close for some time after a hot shut down in warm weather.

The engine normally would not need any choking in warm weather after a brief shut down.
