Slight hesitation or rough running
Hello,
My 1997 Camaro SS seems to have developed some type of hesitation occasionally. It started this morning as I was driving to work. Just before I got on the freeway the car seemed to loose power for a split second two times. As I was cruising down the road though it ran fine and smooth. Then, this afternoon it did it a couple of times, right around 2K rpm. Its an intermittent thing. I have 125K miles on the car, and I got it tuned at 100K. I noticed my oil was a bit low so I added some, but I have a feeling something more serious may be going on, and I hoped someone around here might have some idea. Thanks.

Update:
I took my car in for lube service last saturday, and upon the fuel system suggestion I decided to have my fuel filter changed, and to have the injectors cleaned to see if that would help. Well, during the injector cleaning process the car started to run worse, and now it is at the point where it is not driveable. It is now being towed to another repair shop to see what is really wrong (it died at Jiffy Lube, I needed to get my rear diff serviced too). To add a few details, when my car was tuned at 100K, they only changed the spark plugs and fuel filter. I've read on here about problems with the distributor at around 100K or so, I also think that maybe my plug wires are going bad too. I won't know until the other mechanic looks at it, but any opinions here would be helpful to me.
