I bench tested the choke solenoid today. It is working, and I am getting power to the solenoid while cranking. After the car is running, there is no power to the solenoid. Is this normal?

I had to use the vice-grips again to get the car started. I removed the grips shortly after it started with high idle (like it should)but after running a few minutes, the idling got slower and finally cut off. It would not restart unless I held the butterfly rod down. Bob mentioned "adjusting the rod"?

HELP!
