Essentia cold start injector issue

Hey, I've got a 2017 Essentia with a gasoline engine. It's got about 84519 km on it, and I'm having trouble starting it when it's cold. Runs rough at first. I'm wondering if a bad cold start injector could be the reason? Could a faulty injection valve or injector cause these problems?

Sounds familiar. I drive an Essentia too, and I had similar rough starts and poor running when the engine was cold. Have you tried any injector cleaner or looked into fuel delivery problems?

I haven't tried any injector cleaner yet. What did you do to figure it out? Did you look at the fuel delivery system too?

I didn't get into the fuel system myself. Injector cleaner didn't help, so I took it to a shop. They said it was a defective injector. Might be worth getting yours checked out.

Thanks for the help! I took it to my mechanic, and they also said it was a faulty cold start injector. Cost me 515€ for the repair. Appreciate you sharing your experience; it helped a lot!
