weird CEL problem (long story as this is a weird prob)

I have a '00 9-5 (43K). I am running into this weird problem with CEL for the last 4 weeks or so.
I had slow starting problems whenever the gas is below 1/4th tank for a long time now but it always starts in 7 or 8 seconds. Recently I went to my friends place (first time I went to that place) and the car FAILED to start for the FIRST time when I was coming back from there. I tried again and it started fine without any problems but the CEL light came on. I suspected it might be a DI problem and took an appointment with the dealer next day to get any codes checked.
Next day, CEL stayed on till evening but when I started to take the car to the dealer the CEL light went off and everything looked fine. So I called the dealer and canceled the appointment thinking it might be a one time occurence. it ran fine the WHOLE WEEK. But next weekeend when I went back to my friends place, the CEL light came on again the first time I tried to start the car at her place.
It went off the next day after coming back to my place and came on the next weeeknd when I went to her place again. This has been happening every time I go there (7 or 8 times in 4 weeks). Every time I start the car at her place , the CEL light comes on. I come back to my place and it goes off.
I can't understand what could be happening? Can the moisture difference in the air cause something like this? She lives in Costa Mesa, CA (close to the coast) 45 miles away from Riverside, CA where I live. I live inland. That is the only difference I can think of but that is weird.
any ideas!!
