Default 98 Accord Reset CEL

I have tried searching for this without luck ....
Can someone please help me find the fuse box that resets the check engine light?

Another related question:
Does the check engine light reset itself automatically every few drives and then come back on if the problem persists? Or does it stay on for an indefinite period.

The reason i ask is because there seems to be nothing wrong with my car, but the light comes on for a few drives then goes away for a few weeks, then comes back on again. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Open the right-front door. There's a fusebox in the end of the dashboard, near the upper door hinge. It's blocked by the door itself when closed. Pull #13 for a minute to reset the ECU.

Some error codes will reset themselves if the problem goes away for a certain # of driving cycles. Go to AutoZone & let them plug in a code reader. Get the error code number, sometimes their explanation for what it means is kinda creative.
