Ok, I just received my FJ45 Troopy that I purchased recently and am a total newb. I pull out the choke/throttle pull to start it and then should the knob go halfway back in for driving? Thanks!

What engine?
All the way out to start, all the way back in to drive or once it gets up to temperature

Thx. 2F. It is dying when I put it back in. Needs to warm up more?

Thanks, Brian. Is that hard to do? I'm sure that is a bombshell of a question.....
Never mind. Read some stuff here and online and will check the hoses tomorrow.

depends where it is. finding it is normally the hard part.
For a cold start, I’d let it run on choke for a minute or two, depending on how cold it is outside. Then, slowly push it all the way in while gently kissing her on the lips. Oh wait.
doesnt matter those need warmed up to, and some of them like a hard choking as well

I'll try to whisper sweet nothings in her ear to see if I can smooth out her choking issues 
. From what I've read the vacuum leak can also affect the windshield wipers (which aren't working either) in addition to engine mpg. Anything else?

wipers are electric
Not cool comment.
You can remove the fan belt and use a small unlit propane torch to find vacuum leak
