Change the thermostat.I change the cooling sensor. The fans work. No leaks, fans are working. The needle goes up to hot and drops back down.

Before you get too involved with the elusive stuff, have your mechanic perform a chemical test at the radiator for a leaking cylinder head gasket. That will cause the symptoms you described even though the radiator fan is working.
