READ THE CODES!!! If your light came on you will have a code stored (until
you erase it).  Your "friend" needs to read the codes with his
computer......or you can do it yourself....

Based on your mileage and when the light comes on I'm sure it will be an EGR
code.  This will almost certainly be caused by a clogged EGR passage in the
intake manifold.

You'll make it ALOT easier on yourself if you get the code first....then go
from there!!

Good Luck!!
