Weird engine sputter

My friend has a '88 non turbo 16v, and at seemingly random times. Today when were on the freeway in some traffic doing about 30mph, the car started acting up, it starts to stutter, like if you were leaving a traffic light and weren't giving it enough gas, then the check engine light came on, and has stayed on, and has since stuttered numerous times on our way back home. But the really strange part is that when it first happened he was driving in the city at around 20mph the car actually died (check engine light came on)and wouldn't start for a little while. Then he when he finally got it started he drove over to the gas station and put 91oct. in (he usually outs 89), and when he started it up the light went off and the car drove fine until today. That incident happend lasst weekend. Also it only seems to happen at or below 2500rpm, and when not accelerating hard.
Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions would be much appriciated.
TIA
Trevor
