M117 cold idle?

I feel very stupid asking this. But does my 5.6l in my 91 have a "cold idle"? I ask because ever since temps have dropped I notice that during a cold start, it idles around 800rpm. When warm, its the same.

And other that the same slight shudder when warm, the idle is exactly the same. (The shudder I feel is an intake manifold gasket, replacing soon). It responds fine to throttle and does not hint at wanting to stall.

Every car I have had before will hold a higher idle when cold. Especially when its 1 degree out.
