Have u tried looking to see if any CEL codes ? nah silly question u must have.
Water temp sensor ?? temp sensor says engine cold and tells ecu to give it more fuel and revs ?? ( or summat like that, better wait for the experts )

Just had a thought... have u tried an ECU reset

Water temp is a long shot i reckon
