Default Issues - Round 2

Hey guys, got most of the issues (or so i thought) taken care of with a new fuel pump, new/rebuilt carb and new rotor, cap, coil, plug wires, plugs -- until today when im coming to a stoplight and she dies on me - takes me 1 1/2 minutes to get her restarted (foot to floor), take off - hit another damn red light, she dies - but i get her started quicker have to keep her revved up to 2k until the light turns.. go again.. finally got it home - basically she wont idle.. at all without dying -- another thing is that today on the way to school the oil temp shot up to 290-310 degrees (!!!!), i was at school - so i quickly shut her down, went in - called a few people asking what the deal mightve been - they had no idea.. get back out, fires right back up on the first turn of the key - oil temp is right about 250 again.. WTF?! help.. this has not been my month!
