Expedition hard starting rough idle
Summary of the thread
A 2012 Ford Expedition was experiencing hard starting and rough idling, particularly when cold. Diagnostics pointed to a potential issue with the cold start injector. A similar case suggested checking the fuel rail and injection system. Upon consulting a mechanic, a defective injection valve/injector was confirmed and repaired, resolving the issue.

Yes, the engine's idle is noticeably rough during the cold start. Was that like your experience? What were the specifics?

Yep, rough idle on mine too. Turned out to be something with the fuel rail. Honestly, just take it to a workshop and have them check the fuel injection system.

Thanks for the advice; it was invaluable. Following your lead, I consulted a trusted mechanic who confirmed a defective injection valve/injector. The repair, including parts and labor, was 515€. The vehicle is now performing optimally.

I had hard starting issues with my Expedition too. Is it rough when idling?
