Expedition hard starting rough idle

My 2012 Ford Expedition with a gasoline engine is running poorly and hard to start at 96,073 kilometers, especially when cold. Diagnostics suggest a cold start injector issue. Anyone seen similar fuel delivery problems?

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

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.
