Mine did that twice.
Once the vacuum pipe had come off the factory fitted boost gauge.
Once the vacuum pipe had come of the aircon actuator, near the windscreen wiper motor.
Check all vacuum pipes, and electrical connectors, could even be temp sensor etc??

as above check all vacuum pipes if all ok pressure check your actuator for a split diaphragm.
