Could be the bearing about to sieze up, if so, thats bad news. Definately check on it because if it siezes up you will have a hefty bill ahead of you.

Replaceing the distributor will cure the problem if it is the bearing. From your description, that's what I would guess.

Usually throws a code though if it is... Could just be the rotor..
