yup

Digijet has an aux air regulator for cold start -- a thermally operated
disk valve that allows air to bypass the throttle plate during first few
minutes of cold operation.

It also has an idle stabilizer, a purely electronic device consisting of a
small green or black box that plugs into the ignition harness btw the
distributor and the ignition controller (which the Digifant also does not
have as a separate unit; it's built into the ECU).  You can see a picture
of the Digijet idle stabilizer at 24.29 in Bentley, just to the left of the
ignition controller.  However it's such a lousy picture that you'll be no
wiser than before...
