Bizarre event with Autometer Mechanical Water Temp Gauge

Had to pick my car up from the tuners yesterday arvo to fix up a few electrical gremlins, the biggest being 200 rpm flickerings, which are picked up when running a data log with the Haltech. These flickerings are more than likely due to the trigger wires getting interference from some other wire. Makes the car impossible to tune.
Anyway while driving home i quickly looked at my temp gauge, it was sitting steadily on 200F, then suddenly it flicked to 230F then back to 200F in microseconds. Just wondering what could have caused this spike, the gauge being mechanical and all. My trigger wires run up next to where the gauge plugs into the block, as well as a couple more wires in a loom. About 30mm below the autometer sensor is the electric haltech one, anyone with a 1JZ will know what im talking about. Also the autometer sensor is developing a green scale on it.
Ideas guys? Could the haltech problem and temp gauge spike be linked to one another?
