Sounds as though your thermostat is sticking. Speeding up the engine is forcing the antifreeze past the thermostat. replace and that should fix it

A stuck thermostat can cause this, replace it.

I would also check for proper coolant level and check the engine fan to see if it is working.

SOURCE: my engine temp gauge goes

I would assume that the sensor is probably doing EXACTLY what it is designed to do....measure engine temperature! An engine will get hot when sitting in traffic if the radiator cooling fans are not working. The engine temperature will then go back down when the vehicle starts moving and air begins to flow through the radiator.
Get your radiator cooling fans checked!

Help me out here.... which Hyundai vehicle are we discussing (it would be a great help). However, you describe an issue I've seen with electrical systems on Hyundai cars. You may have an electrical issue dealing with wiring 'ground' connections and/or the main power cable between the alternator and battery. Have a qualified Hyundai Service Technician properly diagnose
your vehicle. OR you can Go to www.hmaservice.com and register your vehicle by VIN #..
you'll then have access to wiring diagrams, shop manuals, service bulletins, illustrations, etc.

P0118 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit High

In the link below it has two suggestion I see. The radiator fan has two speeds one was not working. They were not sure what was changed. They were told the fan has an idle speed and running speed. Could the fan speed control dropping out take out the temp gauge I do not know? The other idea, your car has a bleed plug to bleed the air out of the engine coolant system, air in the engine will make it overheat.
I did have a car one time and the fan relay would drop out after driving a while but to say it dropped out at a certain time, mine dropped out in slow moving traffic I think due to temperature. After engine cooled it would work for a while, I found the problem because when the fan quit working I wanted to check the fuse but touched the relay and it was very hot.
https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t12549_ds628075
The link below has some good info. It also has a comment that the temp sensor sends signal to PCM and PCM sends signal to control fan and signal to gauge.

Caravan does't reach operating temperature

No one ever said new means good. Try another thermostat. Make sure it is the recommended temp for the vehicle. I would spend the extra money to buy a dealer thermostat. What controls temp is restriction of flow thru the system until a set temperature is reached and the thermostat opens. Has to be a thermostat.

Speedometer

I take it that you only have 1 speedometer and that reads miles per hour or car speed . The left speedo? is in reality a tachometer and reads the engine revolutions per minute. When the engine is cold (before it reaches operating temperature) the CPU will keep the rpm's above 1000 (1 x1000) and when that temperature is reached the idle speed is reduced to normal operating rpm's. So yes it is normal. All you need to do is know the difference and the meaning of all the gauges.

Mini Cooper temperature gauge goes to red zone when idle

check coolant level could be too low allowing air in the cooling system causing air pocket in engine around the engine coolant sensor.coolant sensor needs to be in hot coolant so it will cause the cooling fan to come on at a set temperature.make sure coolant correct level and the coolant level in the cooling overflow jug should be at full cold mark.the cooling overflow jug should never be empty,if you see empty cooling overflow jug air got in the cooling system so make sure when engine cold every time raise hood make sure cooling overflow jug coolant level at full cold mark.if jug stay empty you have cooling leak.so replace radiator cap,if coolant level all good,i would replace the engine coolant temperature and thermostat.when your car come to a long stop or driving along long line of slow moving traffic the engine coolant blower motor should running if not have vechicle code scan for faulty coolant fan motor control module.or ecm problems.

I drive a 2006 dts which i've had for 1 year. A week after I had the car the temperature gauge went to red when I was in traffic. I took it to cadillac, they replaced the engine,radiator and hoses

Temp is going up, well that doesn't mean anything unless it actually overheats, in traffic it can reach 240 F and present no danger of engine damage. If this is not the case DO NOT DRIVE THIS UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FOUND AND REPAIRED UNLESS YOU WANT TO BUY ANOTHER ENGINE JOB.

My car is getting hot in idle, what is wrong?

Check first your coolant level. Start engine and turn on ac open hood see if cooling fans are running, if fans are running and coolant level is ok temperature should stay normal. If temperature rises squeeze coolant hose, it should be firm like you could feel pressure on the hose a sign that the water pump is good. Thermostat opens only when coolant reach normal operating temperature.

My fans are not coming on when do they suppose to come on

The radiator fans should come on before the engine temperature reaches the 3/4 mark on the temperature gauge. If the needle goes anywhere near the red your fans are not working and you need firstly to look at the thermostat, and then the fan relay.

Heat gauge

Before getting too upset about this, try changing the temperature sender. Can't tell you where it is but it is usually on or near the thermostat housing but some engines have it on the intake manifold or rear of cyl head.
