Temperature gauge drop

I have a 1999 chevy cavalier. 4 cyl. 130,000 miles. If I have my foot on the gas and get up to about 60 mph, the temperature gauge will drop from mid way all the way down to cold and the car seems to sputter some when it is dipping down. It will stay down on cold, or bounce around down near cold, untill I let off the gas. As soon as I let my foot of the gas, the temperature gauge will rise again to mid way. Any suggestions?
