Terra cold start problem

I'm experiencing a vexing issue with my 2023 Nissan Terra (gasoline engine) at 33917 km. The engine exhibits poor running during the cold start phase, making the vehicle start poorly. Has anyone encountered similar cold start problems with this engine? I suspect a faulty cold start injector. I've even performed rudimentary injector tests, but the problem persists. I am seriously at the end of my rope here!

Hey, I've got a Terra as well, and your cold start issue sounds awfully familiar! Mine did the exact same thing last year. Tell me, does it kinda feel like it's choking, like it's desperately trying to get fuel but can't quite manage?

Yes, that's an apt description. It chokes and splutters for a good 30-60 seconds before settling into a rough idle. Did you manage to isolate the issue, and if so, could you elaborate on the eventual repair?

Yep, sounds like the exact same gremlin I battled! I didn't have the tools or patience to diagnose it myself, so I took it straight to the workshop. Turns out, it was the cold start injector, just as you suspected. The mechanic replaced it, and the problem vanished, just like that! Cost me around 500€, I vaguely remember.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions and sharing your experience. I truly appreciate it. I'll take it to the workshop and have the injector replaced, hoping for a similar resolution. Looks like I'm bracing myself for that 500€ repair bill!
