another idea, im not sure how similar the hybrid systems are between the insight and the prius, but prius has a seperate hot tank mounted in the front fender that stores hot coolant for cold starts. Depending on how the insight hybrid system operates, it could be that when the engine stops running and when the hybrid battery is running the drivetrain, there isnt much coolant flow therefore it cools of in the heater core. Just a thought throwing it out there.
i second spawnedx. Sounds like thats the only thing you didnt do yet. It could also be a bad water pump impellers. This one you have to take the timing belt off to get to, but its worth a try. At least you dont have to rush cause your not doin book time, its a chill educational environment.

my theory is that since its auto climate control, it has a cabin temperature control, so i would believe it to be normal for it to adjust, when it gets too hot inside it will adjust the temperature of the air coming out to adjust the cabin temperature, and then when it cools down i would say it will change the temperature.

It can be either the relay or the fuel pump. next time it doesnt start, have someone crank it and you crawl under the car and hit the gas tank few time to try to “knock” the fuel pump into turning on. If it starts, then you probably need a fuel pump.

I would check the operation of the blend door. See if its maybe loosse or broken. what kind of hvac controls does this car have?

To go along with what stingray66 said. I think that today’s cars, the manufacturer are cutting down BIG TIME on maintenance. oil changes now every 5k or even longer than that, timing belts going away, trans fluids every 100k same as coolant, plugs every 120k and these are all mostly new toyotas. It seems like alot more warranty work and less cp. It sucks seeing all the good work go away.

I work on toyotas at a dealership. My manager has a deal with a fleet company that has F150’s. So one comes in, needs front brakes. I get the OK and start the job. Take the calipers off and such. Start taking the rotors off, and the damn things won’t come off. So I get the torch, heat them up, nothing. After about 30 minuted of pounding, I check Alldata to see what Im doing wrong. According to alldata, the rotor comes off like normal rotors do. So I go back and by a blink of an eye I have about 10 other techs standing next to me wanting to get a try at this stuck rotor to sho me off. So They all got their biggest hammers in their boxes and started to beat the s***t out of the rotors. Then my manager finally comes over and with his ford knowledge, he tells us that these you gotta get the axle nut off for them to come off as a whole assembly. I felt so stupid!

I agree with the warranty work at dealerships. Toyota for example. the 2gr-fe v6 engines water pumps leak alot. toyota says you gotta pull the motor and they will pay around 3 hours. sometimes i feel like asking them to show me how you can do it in that short of time.
