has cel, dissapeared though....how?

Hey all....Ive had a CEL on for about 3 months now for the o2 sensors and egr valve.....yesterday afterwork I go to start my car and the cel is gone! It never came back on today either....why would the cel suddenly go out? Does it automatically go off after a certain amount of time? Im confused here.....any help appreciated! thanks!

the bulb should be fine...if the problem isn't detected again, i think it turns off after a certain amount of starts. it will probably come back if they're real.

i need to change my knock sensor and front 02 sensor, and i didn't change it for about 8 months.

When the key is in the "ON" position(all dash lights light up), is the Check engine light on? If not, then the bulb died.

My cel was never on when the key was in "on". only after I start the car. Now when I start the car it is not on. The guy at mieneke said carbon may have built up and just burned off.
