    Vacuum leak or ECT sensor are common reasons.

    Not necessarily: as I recently found, a bad temp sensor may cause the
    same symptom. Have it checked (mine was cracked, turned on the SES for
    small vaccum leak and caused high idle speed. With the high idle speed
    clue, the shop was able to trace it to the sensor).
    Since then, all is well (over 1/2 year).
