Check engine light... reasons?

I've had an intermittent check engine light problem for the past couple of months. The post from last week about it coming on at half tank seems familiar although this is not always the case. (2002 Aero MT)
The fuel cap is tight, there doesn't seem to be any loss of power.
I'm not sure what causes it to go out, but it almost never comes on until I've used up some of the gas after a fill-up.
Dealer has "fixed" the problem twice now.
What else could cause the light to go on?
Am I doing damage by continuing to drive it with the light on?
Do I have to explain to the dealer that clearing the error code does not "fix" the problem? I swear they think that the light is THE problem, not the indicator of the problem- "Light's out-must be fixed!"
Is this a commonly recurring problem? I'd think if it was fixed properly the first time it shouldn't show up again.
Any chance this problem is being caused due to my Hyperboost BPV? That's the only engine modification I've done.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Brad
