Yep. Coolent temp is part of the equation the ECU uses to calculate how long to open the injectors.

Yea... Basically the coolent temp sensor decides whether the car is cold or not and effectively turns the choke on and off.

When the engine is assembled the thermostat is here - the thing with the wires coming out of it is the coolent temp sensor.
