At Idle (700-800) Temp guage rises high and oil pressure gauge drops alarmingly low?

I see its your first post, welcome to ttz. It could be a few things. I know nothing about the 03s but from my experience it can be a few things. Not sure if the 03s have an electrical engine fan or belt driven. 1.) If it is an electrical fan, then it might just be dead or you may have a split wire and theres no joice going to it to turn it on. 2.) It is belt driven and the belt has snapped. 3.) Low colant . 4.) Dirty radiator needs flush and new colant. 5.) temp gauge. 6.) Check your oil level. I would suggest you have it looked at, the low oil pressure doesnt make sense unless your leaking oil.

good luck
