Have you checked the condition of the spark plugs? What is the oil level at? How old are the HT leads, basically has it had a service since you got it?

Is there any overheating problems? Do you have any mayo style liquid in your header bottle or on the back of the oil cap?

Any management light coming on (if its wired in) as it may be a sensor of some description.

coolant temp sender, located on thermostat housing with 2pin blue plug.

sensor mayb faulty and telling the ecu that the engines cold but its warm so over fueling and 'missing'
