Re: hard starting (dt35th)
Yes, it is on the rear left side of the FI manifold. Try unplugging it and plugging it back in. It takes some force to do this. See if there are any codes stored because the cold start injector is triggered by the temp sensor at the front of the engine and if this is defective, the cold start inj won't be activated causing hard cold starts.
