There is definitely a problem, and don't complain about it being cold MR. Tampa... Its colder than that here and mine takes about 10 minutes to fully warm up at idle. I don't think the engine would just get cold again, that doesn't make any sense which leads me to believe it is a problem with the gauge or the sensor...

change the thermostat. it could be stuck open.

i had this situation, i was driving on the freeway while it was raining and the temp was actually dropping. when i pull over and let it idle, the temp would raise, but as soon as i drive it for a bit the temp would drop. Turns out my friend forgot to put in a tstat. lol.
