Default Check Engine Light

Had the car out yesterday, running fine. After sitting for a while, I started it up and the check engine light was on. Drove for a while, stopped, got back in 30 minutes or so later, started the car and the check engine light was on again. After several stops, the light went out and has been out. Drove home, no light. Drove it today and no light. Any suggestions?
