I Have a 91 pathfinder se 4x4 3.0 v6 with a 5 speed trans.

its kinda hard to explane what it does but it started do this after i pulled my 21 foot ski boat a few miles down the high way

at high speed like 65 and up i will be just driving and the truck would act like it would die on me if i hit the gas not a thing would happen i can only get it back to speed if i hold down the cluch and let the rpms go all the way down then it go back to normal
but the crazy thing is when the truck is turned off the oil and battery light comes on, thoses light do not come on when this happens

does any one have any idea what is going on with my truck

Check your oil, and have the alternator checked at an auto parts store to make sure it's working.

Uh, oil and battery lights will come on when the engine is turned off. Since the alternator will stop turning and there won't be any oil pressure.
But if you are saying when the car is turned off, with the key out and these lights come on, then you got a serious electrical issue, most likely a relay problem.
There is just too much variables here that it is hard to say what the problem might be definitively.

I cant tell what your trying to communicate in your last two sentences?

check the fuel regulator.

You know, for all the people that point fingers at FPR's, I've only ever seen one or two actually cause any problems. It's not a real failure-prone part as far as I've seen. The fuel pump wiring, now that's another whole ball of wax. :P
