Hello, My check engine light came on and stay on for about an hour, then turned off. Everything seems fine but is that something I should be worried about?

If it goes away, there is nothing to worry about but it is adviseable to have a scan done to retrieve the trouble code and see what had occurred.
Most parts stroes provides free scanning services.

Thanks so much for replying! It's my first car and I want to do everything right. My nephew actually has a scanner and it didn't report any trouble codes when we checked...Maybe I should relax?

Yes, and until the warning comes back again, there is nothing to worry about.
