"Check engine' light turns itself off -- a first? Or a sign? 200 1992

Anyone, please: would it be a clue to [something] if my CEL check engine light turned itself off? (on a 1992 245)

It had been on a day or two.

No, the bulb had not burned out. :-)

It DID turn off while I was starting the car, if I remember right.
Maybe voltage dropped below some threshold? (As though I had disconnected the battery?) Seems like a long shot.

I hope it's a sign of some specific wiring issue/connector... which may be related to the ECT-related code I keep getting after a few weeks running, and won't respond to new sensor, cleaning connectors. etc.

Thanks!
