After about 3- 5 min it starts to Rev up and down and i noticed that the water tank is still full.its a vauxhall vectra 2.5 v6 1998. up till know it has run like a dream it has no water leaks or oil leaks and oil is clean.this is a big problem because i cannot drive it any where as i don't want it to get to hot i think its a sensor but i cant be sure

Your sure its a automatic choke? wrong..has no choke...no carburetors since the late 1980s its got a computer to take care of it...how many months [years] has check engine lite been on... when last tune up [don't say tune up?]..plugs and wires last abt 7 yrs and/ or 90K feel like mechanical problem...sticking? dirty throttle body...clean it "i think its a sensor " why? the only way to know is a computer scan...going back to the annoying check engine lite.

I would think it would be the idle sensor
