Unhappy Engine management light

Hey guys, my engine management light came on last night for some reason. It's a 03 impreza WRX. I haven't changed anything or been messing around with the car so not sure why it's happened. I havent noticed any differences in how it drives. Any ideas peeps?

OBD II Reader required. Cheap as chips from Ebay. Or find a local garage to read the code for you.

Well a CEL could be anything..
Mine came on the other week and ran fine for a while.. then just got worse.

Lucky for me I had already ordered on of these ScangaugeII http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261084096152 .for £112 inc delivery.
(no connection to seller other than being a recent customer)

In addition to some digital gauge displays (temps, boost, load,AFR etc etc..) and the regular trip meters/fuel consumption, it can display and even clear CEL codes..
I cleared my code (0327) and CEL went off, but after a week the CEL came back and Im now awaiting the new knock Sensor.

for a ton, its not a bad little toy, there are cheaper ODBII readers.. but this little toy just sits plugged in to the car all the time.. works fine so far.
