Skoda Kamiq Cold Start Engine Trouble

My 2020 Skoda Kamiq with a gasoline engine is exhibiting poor engine running during cold starts. Vehicle starts poorly with noticeable engine misfire. Suspect a faulty cold start injector. Any advice on further troubleshooting beyond the usual?

Sounds familiar. I had similar cold start problems with my Kamiq. Rough idling until it warmed up a bit. Have you checked the fuel rail pressure?

Fuel rail pressure was within spec during my diagnostics. Was your issue also specifically during the cold start phase?

Yep, only when the engine was cold. Misfires and struggling to maintain idle. I'd get it checked out by a professional. Could be fuel delivery related but diagnosing it yourself can be a PITA.

Appreciate the insight. Took it to the workshop, injector test confirmed a faulty cold start injector. 515€ later, the Kamiq is running smoothly again.
