My check engine came on twice this month. Both times the truck sat and did not run for about two weeks. The light goes off after awhile. It does not stay on. Is this from sitting?

Have the trouble codes checked. Some of the national brand autostores used to check codes for free. Are there any drvieability issues?

I'd still want to know about applicable codes. Intermittent issues can be hard to track.
