95 low RPMs + oil in/on intake manifold

My 95 Maxima is acting a bit funny. It is hesitant/lurching/acting like it is starving for fuel or air...both at idle and while driving. I've replaced the PCV valve, but I haven't noticed a difference.

Additionally, I've got a bit of oil which seems to somehow be coming from my intake manifold??? I can't locate any oil leaks where the oil would normally leak out...This car has never leaked any oil and doesn't seem to burn any.

Any ideas on both problems would be appreciated. BTW, it has 152K miles and less than a couple thousand on new NGK plugs.

hesisitation - ignition coils, check them out
oil leak - check your coolant make sure you dont have any in your coolant, you may need a new gasket for your intake manifold. might as well replace your head gasket.

If you have oil in the intake it's from the hose coming out of the engine and going into the intake. Maybe you put too much oil in during your last oil chnge.
