Default WTF does the cold start injector do?

Is it really necessary to have it on my 85? And if so, why?

The cold start injector enriches the fuel/air mixture to enhance starting in cold weather. It turns on when the coolant temp is below 35 F and the engine rpm is below 600 rpm.

I currently have a SuperRam intake and the cold start injector cannot be installed. The only problem I have is idle when the engine is cold. It is fine after the engine warms up.

Good. I live in MS - right now, 10:40 pm EST, at the end of January, it is around 60*. I don't think I have to worry about it. :mad
