Thanks guys I will check the wiring from the temp II sensor to the ECU and
maybe try a shot of water dispersing WD40 first.

I have  to second Don's opinion. I am fairly confident (after years of
chasing)  that when I experienced this it was in the connection to the Temp
II  sensor. I replaced my sensor and all was well for a while and they  I
started having problems again - I pulled the connector off gave it a shot
of
WD-40 and it was fine. Now every now and then I have a problem - I just  do
the same thing and it will go away for months at a time. I'm sure it's  in
the wiring.
