Usually an intermittent SES code is significant of an intermittant problem.
Could be a multitude of things including EGR valve or a number of things.
The only way to tell is to have the SES code read.
I don't remember which pins to jump on the connector (under the dash, l/h
side of the steering wheel) to connect to get the codes, but you can get a
nice inexpensive reader with a code book at any auto parts store. I got mine
at WallyMart for only $20.
Basically when the SES light comes on intermittently, it is indicating that
a problem is intermittent. Best to properly diagnose it and fix it before
the problem is constant.
