99 SL1 Saturn Runs Rough

My wifes car is a 1999 Saturn SL1 with about 85k miles on it. Up until this
last weekend it was running fine. I changed the oil on it and drove it a
bit and it ran fine. The next day my wife reported some major problems with
it. At idle it runs somewhat poorly. It seems to be missing every few
seconds. When the car is put in gear, that's when it really starts to
stumble and miss. The car really stumbles and hesitates when accelerating
up to about 25 mph. If you floor it, at high RPMs, the power seems to be
restored and it runs better, although not like what I am expecting. Of
course the check engine light is one. And when accelerating from a stop,
the check engine light may flash briefly.
At any rate, I don't have a Autozone close to me so I can't check the
engine codes. I have a date with the mechanic in a couple of days but would
love to solve the problem before then.
I change the oil again. Change the plugs. Changed the PCV valve.
Checked the resistance on the plug wires. Checked the air filter, and I
checked for any obvious wiring problems and vaccum leaks. I did not see any
obvious problems. I have not check the compression or anything in the gas
line. Any ideas?
