The car will start fine even at -10c with the wire disconnected. The purpose of it wire is to heat the bi-metalic spring in the choke control housing. It starts to bring the choke off before the temperature of the water circulating in the auto choke housing warms the spring. So without it you will have a longer period with the choke fully on and the fast idle.
