Your thermostat is stuck closed. When it hits 230, the pressure blows the thermostat open then it cools and starts over again.

bad thermostat (opens too high) or bad gauge or sender (shows 230 at 200 for example).

Not to be captain obvious or anything, but, make sure you have it in the right direction. It would exhibit similar behavior backwards.
