3K idle and wouldn't go down, what's going on?

Driving yesterday in California it was a hot 90F+ day. My '76 FI drove fine for grocery run. On way home, out of the blue, she stalled at stoplight. Did a very hard start with gas pedal mashed to floor, finally started up and she never idled below 3K from then on, I looked down and oil temp. gauge was dead...Drove about 5-10 more minutes to get home...After letting things cool down, hours later I went out to start and idle still very high 2.5K to 3K and won't come down....oil gauge is working again...WTF is going on?
