I had a similar experience last year when my secondary air system valves took a dump. CEL was on for months then one day went out. Knowing that cars aren't self healing I figured the bulb burned out but a few days later it came back on again.:ah:

+1, same code, same exact experience. As luck would have it it went out just a few days before I was due to update my emissions and renew the registration. Hauled ass to the inspection station while it was out, passed with flying colors and am good for another two years. It then came back on a week later, stayed on for a few days and has since gone out again, been out for well over a month and counting. I think driving the crap out of it during the spring and summer months helps keep the periodic SAS codes at bay, but thats just a theory...
