Sounds like your engine temp sensor which is in direct contact with the cylinder head. check connection behind rubber bung between plugs 2&3.Also it could be loose. As it's a use once only youcould try replacing that 1st.Make sure it's torqued down correctly. Have you been having starting problems ?
