Sounds like the temperature sensor or the bypass valve to me.
ie. "running on choke".

Hey Subbie, just saw your picture post over at XT6
I'm not sure if you can check the ECU codes the same as we can on USDM models, but the directions are in the "How To" docs up top ^^^ That would give a good clue to help identify what's causing the issue...
