My 1999 Dodge intrepid 2.7L. Idles rough, and the oil light flickers at idle. When under acceleration the car runs great, but after a 50-60 mile drive the car will not start for about 1-2 hours.
I have no trouble codes, and I hooked up a vacum gauge and it holds steady at 17.I am going nuts!

The oil light may be coming on because the RPMs are getting too low and causing the oil pressure to drop. Have you checked the fuel pump pressure?
