First off, check your coolant level. Make sure that it is at almost "FULL".

Then check your thermostat...

I had the same issue along with a spike in engine temperature every once and while. I found I have a leak in the radiator cap allowing air to get into the cooling system. I purchased a new radiator cap and cut additional support gasket and I have not had a problem since.
