Default COLD START INJECTOR?

So many people have told me its best to disconnect the cold start injector to help the engine run better. So if its been disconnected then will the thermo time switch still work. Is there a way of testing to see if the cold start valve and thermo time switch works?If none of these are working then how will the engine run? The reason i ask is because im getting poor cold starting and it missfirs for a few seconds. any advice on this would be appreciated

i unplugged mine and it start much better, i did have a came and head work done with all the fueling set up on the rollers. use to be a pig to start but as soon as i unplugged it it was much better.

however when i went back to standard head and cam (dam cambelt jumping ) i had to reconnect it as it wouldnt start or run easily.
