I have a 2000 Dodge Neon

The check engine light came on. What's the most likely reason why it
came on? thanks

Probably something is going wrong in the engine.

It could be something simple, like a bad sensor. Have a mechanic read the
codes.

Something broke.

Get the codes scanned to find out what.

I was about to get the car checked for the trouble code, but the check
engine light disappeared now... Does this give anyone any clue of what
it could be?

if it set a code its still in there, go get it scanned

Something can be goin on with the engine. I have a 1998 Neon and I
have a way of getting the trouble shooting codes from the on board
computer by using your key. It might not work on the newer Neons but
its worth a try. Don’t worry it won’t harm your car. Ok, with the
engine NOT running turn the ignition ON, OFF, ON, OFF, ON. ( must be
done within 5 seconds) Make sure the car did’nt start. The check
engine light will begin to blink. It will blink the number of the
first digit and then pause and will blink the number of the second
digit. Example: say the code is 24 the light will blink 2 times,
pause, then blink 4 times. I have the codes in repair manual. Get back
to me with the code and I’ll look it up for you.
