i have a 2000 v6 camaro and when i was driving today i got up to around 70mph and my cars service engine light came on and then my car started pulsing, then when i would stop u could feel it going from the engine all the way to the exhaust and as a started moving again it would start fluttering/putting.(i was never in a car when it was misfiring so i dont know what thats like) but it could possibly be misfiring, which i then know its spark plugs/wires/coils. but i dont know what thats like. my brother told me it could possibly be fuel injectors and or fuel filters.

I doubt it could be the injectors but to stay on the safe side, I would test them with a fuel pressure regulator. Check the plugs to see if any have fouled, around now would be a good time to replace the plugs and wires along with checking the opti/coils. If trouble persists after checking plugs etc. then it's recommended that you get it scanned for codes. A good seafoam and cleaning of the injectors wouldn't hurt either.
(If you have a scanner available I would scan it first to avoid buying and replacing something that you think could be damaged)

Well, you can't say that any more. Get the car scanned, AutoZone will do it for free. It saves chasing your tail trying to guess what's causing the misfire.

so i just changed my plugs and wires and its still puttering, my car idles pretty low around 700's apparently they are supposed to idle around high 800's. other possible problem is that it could be a fuel injector but which one is the question?

Did you pull codes? its pretty common for people to let the wires go to long and the car does not start missing until the coil finally gives up. It can also be the ignition modual failer caused by the hvy draw of the coil trying to fire through a old plug wire.
Normally you check codes switch coils and check codes again and see if the error followed the coil. If an injector failed it could cause a miss but you should have a fuel ratio code not a miss fire code.
