Check Engine Light and Poor Performance

Friends,
My '94 Saab 9000 CSE is troubled. For some time now the performance has been very poor. What is happening currently is that the car just CHUGS forward...sometimes just barely so. If I am moving up a hill, I really have to "floor it"...and I really mean push the pedal to the floor...and I barely get up that hill. At a stop sign I'll sit idling, and the car will stall or nearly stall.
In addition the "check engine" light comes on, though it also sometimes goes off, but will come back on again the next time I start the car.
And finally, my air conditioning stopped working.
So, wow...it feels like a very big problem.
I took the car to my mechanic and they checked it all over...said the plugs look good, etc. etc. etc. ... all good. They changed the fuel filter and told me to use high test gasoline. Done.
Still...the problem is not resolved.
Any thoughts from my friends on the board?
Thank you very much.
Julia
