How does it work?
What Determines if fuel is needed from the Cold Start injector?

The cold start coolant sensor on the front of the manifold checks the coolant temp. If it is less than 100* (F) when the starter relay goes active it sprays a 7 second mist of fuel into the intake manifold.

That's the deal.

And control is completely independent of the ECM; timing is done by an independent relay and timer.

so essentially if you disconnect the electrical from the 9th injector you could run 89 ECM code then right? it is an Auto as well

Yeah you can run a later Prom for that afaik.I even tried this with an 89 prom on my 86 and the car ran fine.Dont really need that CS injector anyways.IF anything,it may take a little longer or two tries of start up and it will run fine on cold days.
