Either it's a temp sensor playing up on the EFi or the ign module on the dizzy doesn' tlike getting hot.

Best bet, get the haynes manual and run through the check sheet for the EFi system to check all the sensors, both hot and cold.  All you need is a meter.

as said above id go for ignition module first an for the few quid they are its good to chance anyway otherwise id try the fuel temp sensor
