take it out for a long steady run and see if it clears up dont boot it cause ur just adding more fuel ! if this does not work get it looked at and maybe try a service !!

try changing your Coolant Temp Sensor (blue sensor located at rear of head inlet side by dipstick)
could be faulty and causing your issues !!
worth a go for the price of a new sensor

i would also try a water temp sensor. The same thing happened to my cossie. The sensors are only 20 quid from MSD.

I would first check/replace the CTS (Coolant Temperature Sensor) these go out of range after a while and is the main factor used for fueling for the base level of fuel injected right from zero degrees to boiling, if this is giving a duff reading I.E colder than it is the ECU will fuel accordingly.

does anybody have the voltage specs for the sensors?

The CTS reads works on a 0-5V scale, I only know the resistance VS temp scale but it should be nearer 5V at cold with the voltage dropping with the engine warming up.
