Default A strange problem with check engine light

If i am driving at highway speeds for more than 30 mins or so, my service engine light comes on. it goes away shortly after I go back to normal driving habits. I pulled a code 32 (egr) however i have not noticed any thing wrong with the car (it is an 86)
any suggestions/ideas?

9 times out of 10m this is a bad egr diagnostic switch. This is easily changed and costs $7. It is easier to "poke and hope" and just change this switch. Cost more to diagnose. Change this and if the problem continues repost and I will guide you through the troubleshooting tree.
