I have a 2001 Jeep Wrangler with a 4.0 ltr and my oil pressure drops to 0 at idle after my jeep warms up. Once I put I start driving again, the oil pressure goes back up, but then it will drop as soon as I come to a stop. This only happens after I have been driving for at least 20 minutes.

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge if normal replace the oil pressure switch abnormal could mean oil pump and engine bearings.
