HELP! CEL, surging engine, some misfires, limp home??

The patient is daughter's 2000 9-3 SE. HOT 2.0 engine, 5 speed manual. 226K miles.
She left work, said car seemed to have very little power. (Might be in LHM, but not sure. Have not experienced that in any of our Saabs.)
She went back to the shop and a couple guys where she works (ski area) listened to it, said it was misfiring, or at least running unevenly.
She calls me as I happened to be just 30 miles away so went to investigate.
Noted she was down a quart of oil, easily remedied. Coolant level fine.
Car starts normally, then throws a CEL that goes from steady to flashing. That might take a minute or so.
Then engine revs from idle to about 3,000 or so without any input. Also may stall.
I got it to misfire a couple times, but not consistently.
We left car there. I'm now home, 90 miles away, going back tomorrow (Friday) with code reader, tools, a new OEM DI cassette-- which may solve the problem--I hope.
Hoses all seemed to be intact. Nothing else going on that I could tell in a dark parking lot with a flashlight. DI on car is OEM, 4.3 years old, has about 63K on it. Plugs (correct NGKs) probably have 10K on them. Will throw some fresh plugs in if I can find some in the morning. Can't hurt.
Any thoughts?
All input welcome!
TIA, guys!
