So I am up to 301,000 miles on my engine(95 5sfe) and I've been dealing with the engine light coming on and going off when it pleases. Usually comes on when it's hot outside anything above 80 degrees and then usually goes off at night when the sun isn't shining and it's a little cooler outside. No rough idle, and it only back fires when I hit around 95mph(which is only when I'm on I95 going to a party in DC
 ) What could this possibly be? And what should I start replacing, now that I am over 300,000 miles?

That's ok, at least you know where to start looking. Sadly OBD1 is very vague with just saying "EGR System".
