I think it has something to do with the catalytic converter processing too much raw gas, which is probably caused by a bad O2 sensor or fouled injector. I've heard of this before. Take it to a fuel injection shop for a computer scan and/or injector service. There are others in this group that are fairly knowledgeable on this problem.

Could also be a corrorded/bad EFI temp sensor/subharness.

Yeah, I'd look first at the fuel injectors to see if they're broken or leaking. Also check for excess carbon buildup around your exhaust pipe.
