i had this aswell. hopefully ive sorted it tho. if you look on the left hand side of the engine block down the side behind the thermostat there is a little nipple that a spade conector on the end of a wire should go on. this can become loose or even come off completely. so squash the end of the spade conector with a pair of pliers. (the end that the cable comes from or u wont get it back on the nipple)
then push it back on the nipple and push it till it wedges into the squashed end.

if i was you id try that first as it is free.
if your car takes ages to warm up it could be the thermostat as mine was doing this aswell.

see if your car doesnt get to temprature or the snesor doesnt tell ur ecu the engine is at the right temprature the car will overfuel.

The 1 wire is what tells you the temperature on the guage on the right of your clocks. The cts goes into the thermostat housing and has a plug on it.
