Help! Engine check light problem come back, and back, and ...

Help! I have a check engine light problem that keeps coming back. I have a '96 GXE. So far the dealer has not been able to solve the problem. So far, over five visits, they have replaced in this order -- the air intake sensor, EGR solenoid, back pressurevalve, and lastly the EGR valve. Each time the check light stayed off for a few days them came back on. The last time the dealer kept the car for a week of testing and the chief mechanic took home overnight to be try and be sure they were fixing the right thing. Then it came back on!!! ANY ideas??

No. However the first time it came on I filled up with regular gas and I had been using premium. However, it came on later regardless of gas type.

The light went on just before I brought it in for the 60K tune up a few months back. That is when they first didn't fix it.
