Ok, so the temp was reading normal at that point?
Do you have good heat at idle?

Ok, I think the first thing you should do is make sure you have good heat at idle. If the car's got an air pocket in the cooling system, it may cause this issue. Usually if the heat isn't hot at idle it means there is an air pocket in the [heater core](/topics-heater-core-chevy/).
If there is good heat at idle, I suspect you are going to have to trace the wiring from the temp sensors to the computer to make sure there isn't any issue, if they are grounding out you might get this concern.
Otherwise, I suspect a computer problem.

Here is a link with instructions for filling the coolant.
Whatever temp thermostat you put in should be the temp at the housing, 215 maybe.
