Nissan Repair: A31 engine cuts out, distributor shaft, fuel tank


Question
My a31 twin cam auto cuts out randomly. usually when going uphill, noted the power light fot auto come on, looses power as well then dies. It will then restart immediately with the key. Fuel tank has plenty of fuel, battery good.

Answer
Grant,

Check the distributor for oil on the optics.  Going up hill, that extra load, causes more blow by on the rings and that is helping to push oil up the distributor shaft.  Check it out and email me back.  If it is something different we will examine that too.
