Vacuum!!! Check your lines man, my car used to do this, I got mad and bought a set on eBay for like $20.. Redid all of the lines, and changed the plug wires, got rid of the light..

Your EGR position sensor, connected to the EGR valve, may have crapped out like mine did a couple of years ago. It's only $40 or so (may be more now with all of the damn prices going up). But, before you replace that, do check your vacuum inputs to the valve and the EGR sensor. The valve may also be dirty, as well.
