Abnormally high Coolant temp?

I was crusin along, and i come to a light...and i notice after sitting for about a min, the coolant temp gauge is at the bottom of N, and i started to freek out...but it went down to where it normally is (bottom of A) as soon as i started driving, and never freeked out again.

The only thing i can think of is my fans didnt turn on when i stopped that one time? Is that possible? I can remember one time back about a year and a half ago when i was travelin to dc, and i got off 95, that it did the same thing.
Any thoughts?

There's nothing wrong with your cooling system.

I had the same thing happen to me this last summer, and I had a mech check it out for me - no issues with air bubbles, fluid, leaks, thermostats, nothing. Then I figured it out.

The needle is loose and it fluctuates up and down. That's it. Watch it and you'll see.

There is no way in hell that the needle is loose, I can guarantee it because I have taken apart over 20 of them when installing our white face gauge kits and they have to be removed with a dinner fork.
