Default Exhaust puffing and idle is heavy

I'm having a hard time figuring out why my car is having a small
problem being sluggish while turning over, idling heavy(as far as
vibration goes, rpm is a little under 1000), and the exhaust is
puffing louder than normal. I had an oil change saturday, drove for 4
hours sunday and when i was almost to where i was going i started
losing power and thats when the shaking started. i check the dipstick
and it was below the first dot, so i put oil in. The oil never leaked
out on the 4 hour drive back home. today i replaced the spark plugs
and wires and pulled the negative cable off to clear any timing
adjustments, but still the same things going on. any ideas as to
what's happening?


Thanks,
Ricky
