Did you bleed the cooling system? Is the radiator and reservoir topped off with coolant?

ok, so that tells you 1 of 2 things, either your temperature sensor is not providing the proper information back to the guage, OR, because its rpm based, the coolant is not moving enough at idle to keep the system cool (water pump or blockage somehwhere)
