Welcome so we have absolutely no idea why it has come on, do you have any information on the car like is it standard, modified etc, has anything been done in the last day or 2 etc as the more information we have, the better chance we have of figuring something out, but a dealer/speciallist is still your best bet for a cel

hi thanks, bought the car yesterday off a guy that was 70yrs old and it has probably never been over 3000rpm until i got it. just drove it briskly up a winding hill and when i got to the top i had light come on. Oh and yes the car is completely standard. cheers

As Ginola say's, give fiestaboy a shout first, he will be cheaper than SGT but get some pics up not very often you get to find a nice unmodified example of a scoob

Not long after I got my 2002 WRX Bugeye, I had to see what it was made of and after canning it for a while, the engine managment light came on. It came on and off for a day or two and has not been on since, this was a good few months now, everythings still fine.....I suppose it got used to the way i drive lol
So i'd say try not to worry, unless it stays on for some timme

Sounds like a camshaft position sensor error.......the Denso ECU gets a bit confused when the revs get near the limiter. The CEL usually goes out after 5 starts of the engine.
The Bugeye 2001 phase 1 (radio mast in the a-pillar) was a bit of a random CEL generator LOL
There will be a historic code stored on the ECU, I'd find someone who can read the codes to check.
