Default Help please!

I have a MY93 WRX import and earlier when i was driving the Check Engine light came on for about 10-20 seconds i thought nothing of it at first, when i got to where i was going let it cool off for a couple of mins and went about my business, a couple of hours later when returning to the car i started it with no problems drove for about 5 mins and the same thing happened for about 10-20 seconds again, the car feels fine and there are no strange noises whilst driving.

Just wondering if any of you know what could be wrong with the car or whats going wrong with the car.

None of the driving was hard foot to the floor stuff just normal pootling along.

Any advice appreciated.

Cheers

Did the CEL come on while going up hill on part-throttle? If so, most likely lambda sensor.

Read the stored fault codes, and it will give you an idea as to what is wrong
