Check the ignition stuff before messing with the injectors. You can try cleaning them by using injector cleaner in your gas tank, or have them professionally cleaned.

I dont understand how you manage to run a 3.4 camaro low on gas and still drive it.. If im under a half a tank, it's nearly empty. You are slowly leading up to far worse problems by running it low on gas, (Ie Burning up your fuel pump)... Keep it on full instead of 10 bucks here and there, I would replace the fuel filter. I had a bad misfire that was supposedly an injector, and it was in fact the coil packs. Dont worry though anything off a 3100 engine (Lumina/ Monte) among others all have the same setup though youll have to use your bracket. I think i paid 25 bucks for a set of coils. And It runs so much better. I would recommend putting at LEAST 89 octane,preferably 91-94 octane, regardless of what the owners manual suggests.. 87 octane runs like **** in the 3.4.
and while you are at it.. SEAFOAM IT  (6-7 dollars at any auto store

I did it via the brake booster line and put a can in my gas tank. Ive yet to do the oil. I just did an oil change on mine so I might do that in about 2600 miles [to the oil]
I can almost guarantee Fuel Filter + change Coil Packs and the misfire will be gone..
Out of Curiousity what Plugs are you using? Id recommend some sort of dual platinums since these have DIS ignition systems (3 plugs fire twice in a row, Which fouls up those 3 faster than the others.

hi, running your car on low gas all of the time is a ver bad thing, you want to run it from about a half a tank to a quarter of a tank at the least, sometimes, actually all of the time, the gas in the tank is what the pump uses to lubricate it and keep it cool, running it on low for a long period of time could cause the pump to burnout, the thing that you are feeling could be the fuel pump starting to call it quit, i wouldn't run your tank of E much longer and see if you can bring back the pump, good luck, let me know what happens
