go get it scanned when it is on. You will be stabbing in the dark without an actual reading. (Autozone does this free)

Running really low/out of gas can set a code - but like said above you won't know what's going on for sure until you know what the code is. Next time it comes on just don't reset it, even if it goes back off most codes are stored in history for 40 ignition cycles. And be nice to your fuel pump and don't let the car run low on fuel...
