Kia picanto problems

Evening everyone

I am having a problem with my Kia Picanto I realise I can't get it fixed through the forum but some idea of what's wrong and idea of costs when I take it to the garage would really help

My Kia is and 05 plate and a 1.1 and has high revs when idle and moving and is eating petrol any ideas I would be really grateful

    High revs when idle. Engine is cold. Sensor is saying the engine it cold when its not.

    High revs when moving? Clutch slipping type of high revs?

    My bet is on a temp sensor which is making it constantly run on cold start.
