Peugeot Expert cold start misfire
Summary of the thread
A 2005 Peugeot Expert is experiencing poor engine performance during cold starts, suspected to be due to a misfire. A mechanic suggested a faulty cold start injector might be the cause. Another owner with a similar issue recommended checking the fuel system, specifically the injectors, and suggested using injector cleaner or having a professional perform a fuel rail inspection. The original poster plans to take the vehicle to a shop for an injector test to diagnose and resolve the issue.

Thanks for the info! Misfiring is a good way to describe it. I haven't tried any injector cleaner yet, and I'm not sure how to do a fuel rail inspection. How did you diagnose the bad injector?

Well, in my case, the misfire was pretty consistent when cold. I took it to a workshop, and they did an injector test. That pinpointed the issue. If you're not familiar with fuel injection, it might be best to let a pro handle it. I ended up paying around 515€ for the whole repair.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's helpful to know what to expect. I'll take it to a shop for an injector test as you suggested. Hopefully, that'll solve the problem.

Hey, I have an Expert too. Sounds like it could be the fuel system. When it's cold, is it like misfiring? I had something similar, and it turned out to be a bad injector. Have you tried any injector cleaner or had a fuel rail inspection?
