To be honest, could be anything - Neutral Position Switch, O2 sensor, poor fuel etc.

Most of the above are generally fairly harmless, but the only way to know for sure is to go and get it checked out - the codes will be stored so can still be read.

I would get this done just in case it is something serious, although it's unlikely otherwise it would have been on permanently.

If it is a classic, you can even read the codes yourself:
