or your gauge could be broke

Have you tried the simple things. Coolant level and mixture? It may be as simple as a stuck thermostat.
Running hot at idle and cool at speed is normally a problem that I face when working on hot rods with mechanical fans (attached to the water pumps). You pass more air when you are at speed rather than at idle.

pardon the newbe in me, but how would i find out if the thermostat was stuck, and how would i unstick it?
relpace it...it's only a $3-5 part. Getting to it may be another story all together. I really don't know if that's your problem though.
