Get the engine ecu read. Pay particular attention to the coolant temp signal.

Check the parameters for coolant temp in relation to the gauge. Get the auto adaptives reset too.

He doesn't say it doesn't turn over, so not a starter problem or a battery problem.

Make sure you have the correct plugs fitted.
When the car is warm does it start ok?

no but cover the basics. voltage across battery is a free diy check.
