Cronos hard starting cold

I had a similar problem with my Cronos. Hard starting, especially in winter. A defective injector can definitely cause those symptoms. The fuel injectors are responsible for spraying fuel into the engine's cylinders. If one isn't working properly, it can mess up the air-fuel mixture, leading to poor running conditions. Does it improve once the engine warms up?

Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, exactly, it gets better once it warms up, although it still doesn't feel as smooth as it used to. If it is the injector, is there any way to confirm which one is faulty without specialized equipment? Or is it best to just replace them all? What did you end up doing with yours?

Mine was pretty much the same. Improved when warm, but not perfect. Honestly, diagnosing individual injectors usually requires a proper injector test, which a workshop can do. It's possible to try and clean them, but if one is truly defective, replacement is the best option. Given the symptoms and mileage, a faulty injector is a strong possibility. I'd recommend getting it checked professionally. I ended up having to replace the faulty injector; the repair cost me around 515€ at the workshop.

Okay, thanks a lot for the advice! Sounds like a trip to the workshop is in order. I really appreciate you sharing your experience, at least now I have an idea of what to expect. I'll let you know what they find. Hopefully, it's just one injector!
