The engine temp sensor could be faulty. The sending unit in your gas tank may have oxidation build up ( a very common issue with C5's). Run a couple bottles of Chevron Techron followed by Chevron premium gas to a nearly empty tank. Search "Techron" on this site for more information.

Could be burned contacts in the ignition switch.
