Generally speaking, I'd say not. It can increase the amount of fuel fed to the motor, but not all that much. I'd look more to the cold-start valve, or the electronics that control it. Open the hood and check for fuel smell *before* attempting to start the car. If so, the cold-start valve or your fuel injectors (or both!) may be leaking, allowing fuel to run into the motor when it's sitting. Also look at tune-up items - plugs/wires/cap/rotor. With everything working right, the motor should fire after no more than about 3 seconds of cranking. One more thing: as I recall, it often helps to press the gas down a little (1/8 travel) when starting.
