This engine doesn't have an automatic choke, it's a multiport fuel injected engine. I think what you are witnessing is the idle speed controller either malfunctioning or being over worked as it responds to some other problem. The check engine light will come on if any misfiring occurs on any of the cylinders. This could be as simple as a malfunctioning fuel injector or a disconnected lead to one of the engine control systems like the MASS airflow sensor or the air intake temp sensor. The ISC switch to the controller may be bad. Check all the harnesses around the engine first to make sure there are no loose connections, including the injector harness. You may have to take this problem to a garage where they can scan the ECM while the problem manifests itself.
