4 bars on a AP1 is overheating.
Is this a used car? Maybe the OP's car has the Modifry gauge mod installed and he doesn't know it.

Is the car used? You really might have the Modifry mod. IIRC, you can pop off the kick panel over the ECU and take a look. I think that's where it gets installed. It's been so long since I did mine that I don't remember for sure, though.

That's because you are getting more airflow and thus more cooling.

^oook. If it just started somethings wrong. check it.
Make sure you have enough rad fluid to start...then see if you can burp the system
also, are your fans kciking on? when you say 'when I acc it goes away" it sounds like your fans arent kciking on, so when you get more airflow (moving) the temp goes down.
by the way, stop driving it too...aluminum block + overheating = easy way to warp your head.
