are the problems fixed???

if so, and you have preformed a fairly recent tune up, (plugs, plug wires, filters, fluids, belts) and you don't have any major leaks I wouldn't hesitate to drive it for 4 hours on the highway at all.

I drove my car from St. Louis to San Antonio, when I bought my car, I think I broke an omp line, but it could have been like when I bought it, I always premix a little to be safe

Your idle problem is nothing to worry about more than likely but the "oil pressure thing" could be. Whats wrong, high or low oil pressure?
