I have had my 92 Pathfinder for 6 years and it has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. Recently it started acting funny and it has been difficult to figure just what's going on. It starts up great and runs fine, and then for no reason it will just die when I am decelerating, like when I am coming to a stop sign. At first it would do only once a month or every couple weeks. It has gradually gotten worse until now it does it every time I try to drive it somewhere. As long as I am accelerating or maintaining speed it will drive until I run out of gas. But as soon as I start to decelerate to a stop, it will die. After it dies, it will not start up again for nothing. But if I let it sit for a couple of hours, it will start up again like nothing ever happened. It seems to me that it must be a fuel problem, because usually when something electrical goes wrong it stays that way and does not fix itself. But I must admit that I know almost nothing about fuel injection. I am a carburetor man and wish we would go back to those wonderful days when you did not need a collage degree to work on your car.

Thanks for any help.
