Default Advice required guyz. Please Help !!

Few questions about my saph 4x4. Im not very technically minded so dont laugh at me guys !!

1. Ive had a new engine from a Escort put into my car with 56k on it. It generally runs fine. It starts fine from cold but if i have been for a decent run and stop the car and start it again it turns over for ages. Sometimes it eventually kicks in or i leave it for a while to cool down. It doesnt appear to be over fuelling, no smell of fuel anyway ? New spark plugs didnt get put in with the engine. Could it be something as simple as that ?

2. Having got the new engine put in would it be a good idea to put it in for a tune ?? Anyone know anywhere decent that does this near aberdeen ?

3. The car has been chipped but i dont know what kind. Is it easy enough to find out by opening up where the ecu etc. sits and having a look ?

4. Ive got the standard cossie alloys on my car and need new front tyres. What are a good, reasonably priced tyre for them ??

You help would be much appreciated !!!

dark blue are also standard...

theyre more or less the same as yellows, but they were used in the later 4x4 engines
