Did the check engine light stay "ON" while running, or did it always go "OFF" after starting the engine?

If it happened over a long period could be the gas cap wasn't on tight and that turned on the light, then you tightened it. Then not tight again....
Could also be someone erased the code and that turned off the light, for a while. But the issue remained and after the next driving cycle it came back on.
