I used to have the same problem with my '96 and found that it was the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor to be the culprit. You can check it out with a DMM (digital multi-meter) according to the chart below.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR resistance at:
0°C (32°F) 7300 Ohms
20°C (68°F) 2800 Ohms
40°C (104°F) 1200 Ohms
80°C (176°F) 300 Ohms
100°C (212°F) 150 Ohms
