Probably overfuelling causing a bit of borewash.
Coolant temp sensor would be my first option

will get worse, to the point that it will cut out at any time when driving, shouldnt cause any other probs though apart from cutting out & eventual non start.

Crank sensor as others say. Decent pattern are fine. Had one on mine for a couple of years.
