Older vehicles with a carburetor have a choke to aid in cold starts. The choke would be part of the carburetor. If it was to be stuck on the engine would flood and not start. Newer vehicles (mid 80's and up) are fuel injected and do not use the "choke" as such. It is done electronicly.

If the car has fuel injection you cannot use a choke. however if the car has a carburetor without a automatic choke that is when add a manual choke cable to the carburetor choke flap. When you pull the choke flap closed it limits the air flow to the engine allowing for the engine to warm up so so it can atomize the fuel for the engine to run more efficiently.
