What exactly do you mean by "shoots right up"? Like, within a mile or two? Or before you get out of the driveway?
Start the engine and let it idle for just a few minutes. As the temperature rtises, does the upper radiater hose get hot, and then very hard? Does it fill up the overflow bottle?
If those things are happening, it could be a blown head gasket.
