Default temp gauge

Im having a prob with my 02 WS6. The car is plain acting weird. The temp guage will drop out when im in the middle of driving and the car is warm. When that happens the rpm shoots up unless im at a stop then the car just stalls out and wont start for another 15 minutes. Im sure it has something to do with the temp guage which will fluctuate between normal postion and dropping all the way down. I know the guage is basically a dummy gauge and doesnt register an accurate temp. The thing is it only happens when im in north carolina when i went home to ohio for 3 weeks it didnt happen. Why is my car doing this? Could this be something with the climate?

Strange...I'd check the ECT sensor, connection and wires. No SES or stored codes?
