Default check engine light sometimes

Sometimes my check engine light turns on. Then it will stay on for a while (anywhere from 10 minutes to 10 days) and then it will be gone. Any suggestions as to what it is and what i should do? Thanks.

That was happening to me, It might not be the same but i checked the water tempeture sensor and found that was the problem, Anti freeze was leaking very little........ I had my car for about 2 yrs so i know my way around a liltle
for a few days the check engine came on, but afterwards i replaced the sensor it came off

But the check engine may come up for a million reasons, you have to check and look around
