    so why does this problem pretty much only happen with grand prix's? every other car the tepm gauge doesnt move at a traffic light at all. is it the tepm sensor thats just screwed up?

    No, its the way that air loves to get trapped in the system and cause air pockets. These motors (not just in the GP's mind you) are a pain to bleed the air from. Once he gets that done the temp should hold just fine. I had to bleed my 00 GT 3 times before it finally quit doing what the OP mentions.

    Just nature of the beast.
