I am assuming this all happens while sitting. If not post back and we can rethink it.
As a test, warm the engine for about 10 minutes (do not let it overheat of course). Set the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and if possible set a wheel block down. Next, press the gas pedal until the engine is up to no more than 1500 rpm and monitor the temp gauge for about 5 minutes. Again, do not let it overheat.
Post back with the results and we will determine the cause.
Regards.
