Usually when an EF wont start in the heat, its the main relay. Swap it out for a known good one should be the first thing you try.

The ability to create a sentence "my" need some checking as well.

Go for the main relay, it definitely sounds like an electrical problem at this point.

Just resolder the joints on your current one, a used one at the junkyard may be in the same condition or worse. it's a waste of money to go and buy another one.
