It is likely to be the green coolant temperature sensor, or if not, possibly the throttle positon sensor on the bottom of the throttle body.
Find the sensor as Niall described, it is a cheap change and they mostly seem to go funny eventually so probably worth it.
Put an old rag or tissue down underneath it so that when coolant dribbles out it won't go everywhere, you can start it winding out without any coming out though in case the rag is in the way.
You'll need the new sensor to hand, quickly wind it back into the hole and try not to overtighten it as they can break.
If you wanted to be more sure there was no air getting in you could blow the expansion tank pipe and put your finger over it before swapping sensors (or get a helper to).
