Default Help please!!!

Hi all, I have a 94 wrx import and when the car is up to temp the check engine light comes on, when its cold the light is off, also I have noticed that every so often when I accelerate it feels like it misfires, does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be please.

Thanks

My 97 import does a similar thing to that but does it when it's still cold, feels like unwanted pressure build up until it's warmed up and had a good belch/fart.
