PrevostGator,
My check engine light has been coming on/off for 5 years! I check the fluid levels and as long as they are o.k. I just keep on truckin'. My red stop engine light has never come on nor has the engine ever stopped.
Many people on this forum experience the same thing with the check engine light; the general consensus is that humidity can cause these type of problems. I do think however, that since your engine stopped you had a real sensor failure, and you were right in bringing it into a DD service center.
When the check engine light comes on: check water temp, oil pressure, and all of your gauges. Check your oil, antifreeze, and transmission oil levels before you begin the day of driving and you will probably be fine.
I wouldn't worry about it.
