Rick,
It sounds like your thermostat is sticking. Very easy to replace. Two nuts hold the t-stat housing to the head. Be sure to clean both surfaces and the groove in the housing. Flush out the old coolant and replace with new, 50/50 mixture of anti-freeze and water (if you have hard tap water where you are, use filtered or bottle water).
Good luck.
Rick
