Yes, but it is going to sound wierd....
I had a 1991 9000S (5 door) that had wierd oil use symptoms, and misfiring.
After MANY lengthy and frustrating "no problem found" visits to the local dealer.....the "next time" it did the symptoms, I immediately shut it off, called a flat bed tow truck, and rode with the tow driver to the dealership.
THEN, they actually found the problem while I stood with the technician and service manager, and it was 2 fold:
Valve stem seals were bad (to explain the erratic oil consumption) and (2) a valve guide would slowly slide down out of the head, once the motor had cooled off for the night = the misfiring upon start up the next morning.
HTH and good luck.
