Sounds like it could be coolant temp sensor - although I'd expect the car to be difficult to start, as there would be no enrichment.

ive just gone through this with my classic, the ecu will go into safe mode and put fans on to stop the engine getting hot, the only way to check it is do an ecu reset to get it out of safe mode, then carry out an ecu fault code read and see what it showed up, mine was a coil pack gone down!!!

might be of some help to you???
