It sounds to me like a ground wire . . .do you accelearte and the temp gauge moves? do you stop accelarating and goes back to normal? Have you checked the wire that plugs into the engine temp sensor? All data is welcome in order to close in

that's your coolant temp sensor...it costs either 7 or 13 bucks at www.ecstuning.com depending on what color you have, green or blue..

here's a couple different write-ups on doing it, it's really not that difficult at all..
