Likely Is Not a "Slow" ECM CPU or other ECM problem.
Other "Primitive" ECM have same CPU but different injector system types.
IS Likely involving...
Programing the Fuel mapping in the ECM.
The choice for main injectors for Batch Firing them for V6 and V8.
Again the dumb CSI is only to start when Cold to Very Cold. In warm to hot weather the injector barely runs or not at all...
In Fiero (and others w/ same engine) FSM "CHART A-9, COLD START VALVE TEST, 2.8L "P" SERIES (PORT)"
| quote | The circuit is activated only in the crank mode. The power is supplied directly from the starter solenoid and is controlled by a cold start switch, which provides a ground path for the valve during cranking when engine coolant is below 95°F (35°C). The cold start fuel injection switch contains a bimetal switch, which opens at a specified coolant temperature. This bimetal is also heated by the winding in the cold start fuel injection switch, which allows the valve to stay "ON" for 8 seconds at -20°C (-5°F) coolant. The time the switch will stay closed varies inversely with coolant temperature. In other words, as the coolant temperature goes up, the cold start valve "ON" time goes down. |

This subsystem will give bigger "starting fluid" shot as weather temp drops w/o having more complicated fuel maps in the ECM.
Will basically act like someone hit the gas pedal for Carb engines.
And that 8 seconds max
If you turn the Key for 8+ seconds too. When turn the key less then whatever max the CS switch "thinks" the injector is Off regardless.
Many people block/remove them but can be hard to start in cold weather making problems for the cold battery and starter motor spinning engine w/ cold oil etc. IOW You better have the best battery (high CCA rating) and good starter when weather is cold or freezing as is, more so DIY deleting the CSI on cars w/ them.
