Falcon cold start injector issue

Having a shocking time with my 2000 Ford Falcon, petrol engine. Only done 70k. It's been a pig to start when cold and runs rough as guts in the cold start phase. I'm leaning towards a faulty cold start injector, what do you reckon? Anyone had similar dramas?

I had cold start problems with my old Volvo, same kind of symptoms you describe. Have you tested the injectors? That would be the first thing to do.

I've done the basic checks. Resistance is off the charts on one of them. Was your Volvo's issue definitely the injector itself, or could it have been something else in the fuel system?

In my instance, the injector itself was faulty. After replacement, the problem was solved. Given your resistance readings, it's very likely the injector. I suggest you go to the workshop as soon as possible.

Injector confirmed cactus. New one fitted, and she's purring like a kitten now. Cost me 515€, but well worth it.
