"choke' sensor 900 1995

Backstory: 1995 Volvo 945, N/A, Bosch igntn. Doesn't start when its below 40F, new (gaped) plugs, wires, no OBD-1 codes on either LED. Engine block heater solves the problem. Also, once warm car starts ok. Cold starting symptoms are: crank-crank-crank, start, then running on 2-3 cylinders, then stall.

New development: my neighbor, a car mechanic for 40 years, suggested I give the car a little bit of gas pedal when I started it. Lo and behold, it started right up. Starting with the pedal all the way or half way down doesn't work - just barely touching the pedal does.

My neighbor then says that what I need is a new "choke" sensor, because what I'm doing is giving the car more choke when I'm starting it by feathering the pedal.

A '95 is fuel injected, so this sensor doesn't exist. What is the equivalent sensor?
