Are you sure it's not the CPS?

Underhood temperatures can stay very high for a very long time.

On a related but somewhat illustrative note, I've got a 3-car garage near the house that is so well-insulated, I only half-jokingly say I could heat it with a candle.

We can pull a pair of cars into it at night (keeping in mind that most of the heat in the building is lost when the doors are opened), and the heat from the cars slowly dissipating into the building along with a minor contribution from the concrete floor's thermal momentum causes it to be roughly 10 degrees warmer in the garage at night than it is outside.

Before abandoning the car, I really would spend the $14.39 to replace the CPS and if the car suddenly starts well and consistently, re-assess what you're gonna do with it.
