Yes. Very common if there is an air lock near the coolant sensor.

See the top hose where it comes off the engine, should have a bleed screw. Fit up a header tank (horrible job) and bleed.

If there was air at this point then removing it stands a very good chance of curing the fault.

clean throttle body out inc butterfly/idle control valve and try again if not improved then you have an air leak check all breather pipes/conections
if you have air in system then you have poss head gasket probs
or poss car has had overheating prob/cambelt failed and has had bad rework ie valves not ground in right
petrol engines very unrelible/dash faults etc
all i can say is good luck
