Ford GT cold start injector issue

Hi, I've got a problem with my 2020 Ford GT with a gasoline engine. It's got about 195446 km on it. Recently, I've been experiencing poor engine running during the cold start phase, and the vehicle starts poorly in general. Could this be related to a faulty cold start injector?

It is possible that a defective injection valve/injector is the source of your issue. Have you checked the fuel rail pressure during cold starts? A drop in pressure could indicate a leak or a malfunctioning injector.

No, I haven't checked the fuel rail pressure specifically. How would I go about testing that? Are there any specific tools required, or is it something a novice can handle?

Testing fuel rail pressure requires specialized tools and knowledge. Given the symptoms and your self-described expertise level, I recommend taking your Ford GT to a qualified workshop for diagnosis. Continuing to run the engine with a suspected fuel delivery issue can lead to further damage.

Thanks for the advice. Took it to the shop, and you were spot on - faulty cold start injector. Repair cost was 515€. Appreciate the help!
