Hey Guys, decided to charge the A/C the other day for the first time in several years and everything was working fine and blowing cold until the next day I opened the hood to find compressor oil that slung itself all over the engine compartment.The A/C clutch just under the belt pulley was oily to the touch. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well I swapped the ignition leads from my other pathfinder that I drive regularly and after awhile I am still having the same problem. I don't think at this point the plug wires are the problem. Also the misfires feel like they are from random cylinders and not a single cylinder missfire. Anybody have any other suggestions Thanks ORIGINAL POST: (Hello fellow pathfinder owners, I have a 91 xe that most of the time will run perfectly. I can run all day with no problems and with out any warning I start experiencing what feels like random engine misfires and have to pull of the road and shut the engine off. While this is happening the RPM gauge jumps back and fourth from 1k to red line in a twitchy type fashion. I then wait a few minutes and it will start and run as if nothing was wrong. Just a little history on the vehicle: Before this started I had distributer problems and replaced it, also jumped time and put new belt on it. 200 miles after these repairs this nonsence started. I've rechecked timing since and is good. The RPM gauge will also twitch back and fourth with the engine off (key in on position) while pressing on the gas (hot or cold) when having this problem. Thanks allot for reading my ramblings.)

Thanks for the tip Goosevf_1, I will swap the leads from my other pathfinder to see if it makes a difference and report back.
