While you are comparing day to day events, you are overlooking the problem is consistent with the Mornings' first start. The engine is hard to start after sitting overnight.

The cold start routine is a setting that is suppose to reboot after the engine cools down. This is controlled by a temperature sensor which can be a water sensor or block heat detector. If you have a water gauge you can have 2 similar components and the component that works the water temperature gauge is on a different circuit than the Engine Management control.

Your defective sensor instead provides the temperature information to the Engine Management computer. It cues a change in fuel mix and timing so that the engine starts better and remains at a higher RPM for short time. If you have ever had a car with a carburetor, it duplicates the "choke" function.

Consult an autoparts store for a correct part and its location. At most, there will be some spillage of Antifreeze but it will be minimized if you do it with a cold engine.

Please rate my info.

Have them check the crank or cam sensors these could give you prolonged cranking.

On top of the cover of the fuses it will tell you what that fuse was for. Odds are whatever it is, is shorting out and will need to be replaced.

2001 Toyota Corolla. AC works great in morning.

You are not going to like my solution. By law the only people who can work on a/c or licensed to do so. There is a fine and jail time for those who violate.

If sorry but I would rather see you hot and free than cool and playing basket ball with the other inmates.
