Check the temp sender cold & hot there should be a difference of 1k. Should be around 200-300 when hot. Any lower you are not getting enough fuel any higher you are getting too much. Also check it at the ecu to make sure there are no broken wires. If you dont have a meter then just replace it as they are only around £10.

hi brian, thanks for replyin, where will i find this temp sensor. the muppet who had this car before me has chopped the air inlet hose down to fit an after market induction kit, so will this have any effect on the sensor. it seems to me like the choke is stuck on. any help or advise you can give is greatly appreciated..

You will find it at the top hose connection on the engine. A faulty temp sender will give the impression of a stuck choke. Best just replace it with new, it unscrews so an easy job.
