Peugeot RCZ Poor Cold Start

I'm experiencing issues with my 2013 Peugeot RCZ gasoline engine. At 64321 km, it's started exhibiting poor engine running during cold starts and now starts poorly in general. Could a faulty cold start injector be the culprit?

I had similar symptoms with my RCZ, though I never properly diagnosed it myself. Rough idle on a cold start? Almost stalls sometimes? Fuel delivery issues are common. Could be worth looking at the injectors.

Indeed, this is a good description of the issue. Injector problems, I suspected that. Did you try, by any chance, fuel injector cleaner or test the injectors?

Tried the cleaner, didn't do much to be honest. I'd suggest a proper injector test, but realistically, a workshop visit is probably the best move. They can accurately diagnose and replace the defective injector.

Thank you for the advice. I took it to my local garage and it was indeed a defective injector. The repair cost 515€. Problem solved!
