Cooler air is more dense. The denser the charge of air, the
more molecules of fuel you will have packed into the same
volume of air entering the engine.
You can get the air *too* cold, that's why they have a
cold-start feature, or a choke. WEhat this does is also
limits the amount of air entering the engine as at a certain
temperature (don't know exactly what) the fuel packed into
the air charge becomes too much and there isn't enough O2 to
get everything to burn.

This is a bid of a physics question I think, why is colder
air good for
engines and can the air be too cold, is there an optimum
temp.
