could be a weak ground on the temperature sensor.
they use a negative resistance setup.

does it go hot right when you turn on the car? or after a while. if right away, then sensor could be screwed. if after a while, check thermostat or water pump (when changing water pump, change timing belt at the same time, and make sure all gears are cleaned up good! )
