with it being a classic you can read the message yourself, quite simple if you're patient enough. Did it myself and needed a new knock sensor, quick fix. if the link doesn't work let me know.

I drove mine for a couple of weeks before I replaced it, easy job btw just one nut. As far as I'm aware won't do any immediate damage. Mine just drove like sh**e and gave poor mpg.
