Coolant Temp Sensor maybe?

yeah unplug the coolant temp sensor (white plug under the dizzy cap) and makesure its clean and dry, mine did this so i checked all connectors, after cleaning them all it stopped doing it. So as matt says, could simply be a dodgey coolant temp sensor.

failing that, get a free emissions check done at a chain garage and see if your lambda's on the blink. either way, both are easily sorted

cheers guys - I'll check the coolant temp sensor tomoz! I'll let you know how I get on....

[MatBrown]

Ah, Lambda is another good suggestion.
