most auto parts stores offer a free OBDII scan.. with the code numbers.. a possible answer can be addressed.
Anything could cause your problem.. intermittent alternator to water in the fuel.
bad connection at 100 different electrical plugs.
but if the check engine light flashed and then went OFF... that means the problem was temporary... but could return.
if light is still on. . issue is SET. and must be addressed.

All OBD scan tools can read P-codes, but everything else is extra. The cheap ones will just display the codes, but more money buys you freeze frame data, enhanced manufacturer-specific codes, live data, logging, etc.
The cheapest way to get the most functionality is a bluetooth OBD interface that uses your smartphone or tablet as a scan tool. Apps like Torque Pro can be had for less than $5 that give you all the functionality of an expen$ive scan tool. I paid $400 a few years ago for the AutoEnginuity Ford bundle, which is capable of live data, logging, manufacturer specific codes, and even the actuation of components controlled by the PCM.
The most recent use for me was about a year ago when I was having an ABS issue on my '97. No codes, but I was able to pull up live data of all four wheel speed sensors and spotted one that was dropping out at low speed. A low-end scan tool wouldn't have helped me there.

I'm a big fan of getting something that can read ABS codes and data log for additional troubleshooting. A descent unit will allow you to download your data to a computer and even update the firmware for additional troubleshooting.

$171, parts and labor. Found a garage right where It started missing, pulled in 730 am, and on the road at 945 am.
I had a trailer full of motorcycles, and the van is a 15 passenger. I was loaded up for a week trip to Florida from Ohio.
But within 30 miles of coming back from Florida, flexplate blew apart. Theres another thread about that. lol.
