I won’t be able to look into the ebox until Friday on my day off. Also, searching online confirms the IVM only exists in the V8 engine models, so no IVM in the 3.0i.
Any clues what I should be looking for? Started relay? Ignition relay? Or maybe ignition switch in the steering column?

Since the mechanic found nothing wrong with the engine, I would keep a spark plug socket and ratchet set in the car to check the plug if this occur again. It is very easy to flood a fuel injected engine if it doesn't start right away. The computer will allow a greater quantity of gas to be injected into the engine when the ambient temp drops. An engine that is not cranking fast will be harder to start. I keep one of those litium jump pack in the car if I feel the engine is not cranking fast enough.
