Chances are not the temp sensor. It could be a thermostat or a hose that has a leak. And the one you dare not want it to be is a crack head.

Why would Taurus water temp varies with engine speed?
The temperature of the water will vary on any vehicle with speed, including on the Taurus. The more an engine runs, the higher the water temperature will be in the radiator. If the radiator is overheating, then there could be a malfunction with a temperature sensor, a leaky hose, or damage to the radiator.
What would cause the radiator fans to stop working on a 1999 intrigue - if is possible that a sensor broke if hit pothole?
Many things could cause that: blown fuse, bad relay, corroded wiring (if you live near sea water or in the North), bad temp sensor (have to have a scantool to check it), or the following.. First are you sure they should be going? They go based on the temperature sensor reading. Are you overheating? If you are not overheating don't worry about it. If you are overheating check your coolant level first. You could have air in the system that would cause it to over heat. If you have air and you haven't taken the system apart in the last month, find the coolant leak.
