This was located in the front of the intake manifold. I had thought that it was a temperature sending unit, but everyone seems to say that it's for the cold-start injector. Is this true?

Blue86,

Yes, that is the Cold Start Control. It operates the cold start valve (injector) on a temperature and time basis. You should have found it here:

Cold start problem

I have cold start problem in my '87 GTA.

How could I check that cold start control? Or should I buy new unit?

When the air temperature is below zero, the engine doesn't start.
When the engine is hot or air temperature isn't below zero, the engine (L98) starts fine. I think that's very mysterious problem...

Is there any units that is should check?

Ilku, probably your best bet would be to post a new topic with that question or do a search on the cold-start equipment. This thread was intended to identify a component.

Unfortunately, I never spent the time to learn indepth how the cold-start system works.
