Viggen help needed

1999 Viggen stopped running and i can't figure it out! The car was developing an occisional miss at low rpms (at idle and sometimes in 4th and 5th gear at lower speeds). No CELs. It started missing more frequently over the course of 2-3 weeks.
The car will start, but unless I keep the rpms up past 3000ish rpms, it will stumble and stall. I looked pretty stupid at red lights trying to get the car home. Clearly I can't drive the car with this condition and I really don't want to have to get it towed to a shop.
The other observation I made was with the temperature guage. It used to normally read dead center when it was operating temp. For about the last month, the needle became more active. It would climb to about 2/3 the way and then drop to about a 1/3. Sometimes after a 30 minute drive it would never even reach halfway. Sort of unusual behavior. Could these things be linked?
All ideas are appreciated!!!
