This vehicle starts well, has a high ilde that does not level off when warmed up, then when it is shut off it sputters until it finally shuts off. I did not realize that a donation would be asked for. i will donate when I use this service again. I am unemployed (9 months)and very short on cash.

Is this Toy a carb or an EFI original fuel system?

You need to adjust the automatic choke/fast idle-sounds like the choke plate is not fully opening causing the idle to go high

The choke plate is the butterfly its link to the auto-choke and fast idle-you need a repair manual to set it right or you can try spraying carb cleaner on all the linkages of the carb-sputtering-its bcuz the throttle plate is not fully closed
