There are too many reasons that the lights can come on and off!!! I need more info...what colour is the light?Is it the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT? If it is you have to take your car into a dealer so that they can check for codes. That is the ONLY way to find out what is wrong for sure.

when it comes on and stays on that means it has set a code ,and the code will be for the emissions controls OK, you can still drive it , but as soon as you can get it to some one that is ASE smog certified ,and or the dealer and have em check the codes, or (read the codes), OBD1, OBD2, OBD3 (stands for on board diagnostics)on a ford you just need to disconnect the negative battery for 30 seconds to reset the computer, but that is not a fixit .It is set to come on at certain millage intervals and is run from the computer, if a code is set and the light is on it will not pass smog legally , and its like o2 sensors or egr valve needs replaced, but as the car gets older it will need the emissions serviced especially if the light is set and will not go off or keeps coming on there is a emission problem, good luck

This is an intermittent problem that the brain is detecting.You may want to bring it to be checked out.Some of the Auto Stores do this service for free.Nothing to worry about now.If it comes on and stays on ,then get it checked immediately.If in the USA, most Auto Zones will check this for free.The repair may be as minor as a bad connection to any one of the sensors or major as replacing a bad sensor.

Could be a nomber of different things. You need to start by finding out what code is stored. Also it is not unsafe to drive if light is on, but if it were to start steady flashing, you should stop driving it and have checked immediatley.

It's seeing something wrong, then it is correcting itself. Get the codes read to see what is triggering the light.
