Enjoy cold start problem

Having trouble with my 2012 Chevrolet Enjoy (gasoline engine). It's got 48859 km on the clock. Lately, it's been starting really poorly, especially when the engine is cold. The engine runs rough during the cold start phase. Could this be related to the fuel system? Maybe a faulty cold start injector? Any ideas on how to diagnose this further? I was thinking about injector cleaning but unsure how to proceed.

A 2012 Chevrolet Enjoy with 48,859 km is experiencing poor cold starts and rough engine performance, potentially linked to the fuel system. The issue might be due to a faulty cold start injector. A fuel injector test is suggested to diagnose the problem, with a recommendation to have it performed by a professional workshop to avoid further complications. The problem was confirmed to be a faulty cold start injector, and after repair, the vehicle runs smoothly.

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my Enjoy, though it wasn't quite as mileage-specific. Rough idle and poor starts can definitely point to fuel injection problems. Have you tried a fuel injector test? It might highlight a defective injection valve.

Thanks for the quick response! A fuel injector test sounds like a good idea. Could you tell me more about the test? Is it something I can do myself, or should I take it to a workshop?

Honestly, while some might tackle it themselves, I'd suggest a workshop. I messed with mine a bit, and in the end, I created bigger problems. Plus, they'll have the right tools to properly diagnose and fix it. In my experience, it is worth the peace of mind. Just be sure to confirm the diagnosis before authorizing any major work.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a local workshop. They confirmed it was a faulty cold start injector. The repair cost me about 515€. Runs smoothly now! Appreciate the help!
