Default CEL, noCEL, CEL

last week, my CEL came on, then the next day it dissapeared...now a week later it came back on....

im planning on getting it diagnosed soon, but i was wondering if you guys had any idea on what it could be to set it off and on?

check codes before you make fuel choices theses cars are designed to run on low octane rating, just about any thing can turn the CEL light on but as long as it goes off the problem is minor and will clear on drive cycles if not then a diagnosis will be required
