Abnormal Coolant Temp. trying to figure out why.

I have an 87 900 S, within the past week or so the temperature gauge had started to indicate a bit hot, about 65% at cruise and almost touching red line at idle, then the fans would kick in and the temp would drop back down to about 3/4 scale. So I went to the local dealer, bought and installed a new Saab thermostat (82C). I flushed and bled the cooling system. The temperature behaved normally for about a day, then it was right back to it's old trick. So I went back to the dealer today and installed a new fan switch, fans kick on about the same point on the gauge just below redline. Is it possible my temperature sensor could be fouled?
If so how can I fix this? Could it also be wiring?
