It depends on what you mean by going off and on. If it happens like a flashing light (check engine) It will not be low coolant. It usually mean that you have a random missfire and that it is bad enough of a missfire that it is damaging your catalytic converter. You need to get to an auto parts store that will check your trouble codes.
