There is a hesitation in the engine whenever it reaches 2000rpm, under a load. I have had the power steering pump switch wiring harness replaced, and I have had the throttle body cleaned. The hesitation has not gone away. The dealer states that no "codes" come up on the diagnostic machine they use, so they don't know what's wrong. I am bringing it in this week for the third time.

Whenever my 97 Jeep Wrangler's engine is sufficiently warmed up, the oil pressure drops to under 20 psi. I have brought it to the dealer. They said it was the oil pressure sensor. When they claiimed to have fixed it, no more than a few weeks later, it started happening again. This time I tried to call them any left messages with the manager of the servive depatment . I was never contacted back about the problem. With my works schedule, it is hard for me to bring my car in all the time. Also with reports I read dealing with similar problems, I would like to rectify this problem ASAP.
