You have an issue with the circuit that illuminates the check engine light. Bad connection on the cluster, wiring, etc.

Found an additional code (P0160). Replaced Oxygen sensor. CEL now out.
HOWEVER - discovered this: key to ON CEL is on. Start car CEL goes off. BUTT...if you very quickly stop and then key to ON = no CEL. Turn off, wait 5 seconds and to ON = CEL ON. Almost like something is resetting?!?!?
Would someone try this: Start your car so CEL goes out. Very quickly turn off and then to ON. Did your CEL immediately come on?
