In this video, see the cold starting issues of a Fiat Grande Punto: using diagnostics performed with an OBD11 reader connected to the EOBD socket, error P0105 was found, indicating a faulty MAP sensor. The MAP sensor (from English Manifold Air Pressure) measures the pressure of the air drawn in from the engine's intake manifold, converts it into an electrical signal, and transmits it to the engine control unit (ECU), allowing for the correct fuel dosage.

After replacing this component, the cold starting issue was resolved.
