No, your car is carbed and that's just the way carbs are when they're not 100%. No need to plug in a properly set up carb at 24*F much less 0*F, my car gave me no trouble last winter with the carb at all. It sounds like the choke and possibly high idle isn't quite set right, but everything else is. Lucky for you, choke and high idle are 2 of the simpler for the uninitiated to set up.

its a carburator. They start differently than fuel injection. You have to pump the throttle once or twice and let it warm up a little before it will run. Its just how things used to be. If the carb and associated parts work right, it'll fire and run fine below freezing but it may take a little more work.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
