Default help needed

Recently wrecked the avenger and lot of body damage. But question. After the wreck my check engine light came on. Ran codes and it was the o2 sensor. Checked it, it was fine. Well in the crash I had pushed the abs control module bracket into the tire. Pulled the bracket out. Check engine light still on. Check abs, still worked great. But tonight (friday) when i put gas in the car, the engine light went off. What causes it too come on for a couple days then just go off without really doin much.Thanx

Seriously it was probably that the gas cap wasnt tightend. My moms dodge trucks engine light would come on if the gas cap wasn't tightend

What do you mean you checked it, it could be the o2 sensor. It is the resistor or something inside that is making it come on and go off. I had a car that did this. The check engine light would come on and off whenever, and the o2 was the reason.
