Recently I had an issue that my vehicle was giving me a prolonged start when try to start the engine. After 5 minutes or so and completely unexpected car would start. Got the fuel regulator replaced.Seemed to cure the issue for a day or so then again the problem looms.

Since then my serpentine belt snapped and just made a mess. I had to go for a new radiator, new belt, thermostat and mechanic found a relay that was not functioning correctly so we attributed the prolonged start to this relay.

Now my car runs at 100 not around 80C like usual. The car is always running hot between 100 and 110 and doesn't overheat but I am nervous. When driving the car is normal, 80 but get off the highway and wait for a red light and its well over 110 quickly. To boot the prolonged start issue has started again. I am frustrated as the mechanic is at a loss. We recently changed the fan clutch also and no change. He ran diagnostics and nothing...

Anyone live through this before? If so any help to offer?
