So its actually a MY93 wrx then? (STI's would be L reg plus as they were MY94 cars
)
As said, check for engine codes, if you dont know how then google scoobypedia and self test

As above chap, if it's a 93 car then it won't be an STI. Use the search button to find out how to do the check.

Seriously, some people really do expect the earth don't they.
The engine check light can come on for a variety of reasons. As said, do a search on how to self diagnose and engine check light issue. Job done.
