Does it only do this when cold? Could be the auto choke if its naturally aspirated

When it does this does it blip too fast and then slow down?? Could indicate a speed sensor fault
Hmmmmmm i'll get back to you on that

It happens less when i've not been driving for long.... we first noticed it after driving about 15 miles.... i drove the 3 or 4 mile round trip to school/work this morning and it didn't seem to be doing it, not until tonight when i'd been driving more/longer.

I should also mention that the first day i had the car it was really hot weather and the car was in the red on the temp gauge, i live right near a tyre fitting garage and the bloke in there said it seemed to be circulating water (?) so was fine, anyway it's stayed at a good temp ever since then so i guess it was the weather?

This revving problem does warm the car up though as you'd expect....
