'94 900 S sporadic poor running (re-post)

My '94 900S with 180k miles occasionally goes into spasms where:
1. Severe hesitation-shuddering-surging at low rpm/throttle position
2. Poor power
3. Enormous fuel consumption (~ 15 mpg), where 28-30 is the norm.
4. Stalling when depressing the clutch
5. Idle surges (or stalls)
This behavior does not appear to be weather or temperature related. I can go weeks without a problem, but when it happens, sometimes it can last for hours, as in the 4 h it took me to get from RI - NJ on Saturday.
The check-engine light has been coming on and off for some time, though it does not seem to necessarily coincide with the spasms.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? I am afraid to take it to the dealer because it is so intermittent. But it is very annoying (and potentially dangerous), and I get crappy fuel economy as well.
Thanks
