When the check engine light goes away the code is still stored until it is re-set. Scan the code and find out what is wrong. I am no genious but I would say the check engine light has something to do with your cooling system.

If it stays normal at in town speeds and runs hot at highway speeds you need to get the radiator flow tested. That is a sign of it being partially restricted
