if I have 2 engines, and I loose one of them, and it comes back to life magically somehow. i'm going to assume there is some kind of problem, which might be contaminated fuel or electrical. in anycase, if this happened, I would go back to the airport. you never know whats going to happen next. I can't risk that.

I have gone back to the airport when the engine would make odd noises. I would no way continue (or turn back if its a longer trip) if I lost the engine, and it came back.

I would land somewhere reasonably close (20-30 miles at most) and get it checked out. if they say they can't find anything, then I would at least know that, and get going on my way.

remember, it never hurts to be on the safe side. not just in aviation, but in any situation.
