Engine missing

Saturday evening I was out in my 96 9000 CS (149k) driving on Rt 2 in MA when I experienced several instances of what seemed to be a misfire. The misfire did not seem to be related to load as it occured while cruising. I thought this might be a symptom of inpending DI failure, but we were able to travel about 60 miles without incident. The next morning I was driving down our street when I experienced several more at very low speed (15-20 mph) and took it back to my garage. Later that day I was going to replace the DI cassette with my spare, but I first thought that I should at least look at the plugs. All looked fine, except that the gap was too large. My largest wire gage is 0.040 in (about 1 mm) and it was very loose in the space. I regapped all plugs to 1 mm and put the old DI cassette back on. A 3 mile test drive revealed no problems.
A few questions.
1 - Should the check engine light come on for a few misfires?
2 - Is the excessive gap a killer for the DI cassette? It is the original and the plugs were changed at 120k.
3 - Should I change the DI cassette anyway?
Thanks for any input.
Ed
