I had a CEL in February, I think it was... P1129... I checked it and cleared it, and it hasn't come back (and I've put about 3000 miles on the car since, and have driven the piss out of it on a few occasions).

If the CEL was not BLINKING, you should be OK to drive it. I'd run it for a few days as you normally do. If the CEL doesn't come back, then it was probably a fluke like mine was.

Yep, you can drive it, but your mileage will probably suffer until it's replaced.

Actually as an idea... go get a bottle of Techron and put it in your tank. Run that and then clear the CEL if it comes back. See if the Techron cleans up the fuel system a little bit.
