The ECT sensor tells the ECU how long the injectors stay open: longer when cold and shorter when warm. The engine needs a richer mix when cold. The fuel pump always runs at the same speed, the excess fuel at the rail is poured back into the tank.

Indeed, a nice catch by the mechanic. He is full of beans when suggesting a block heater, however.
