hi, i have the same car but in the lx model and same year, my car had the same problem, i found out it was the throttle pedal position sensor switch, dont worry not as bad as it sounds, its just a little sensor that attatches to your inlet manifold all you do is unscrew a couple of screws and unclip the plug and refitting is just the same but in reverse of taking it off. mine used to come on when i was driving and all i done was switch the car off and restart it and it would be ok for a few days, the engine managment light use to stay on for a bit but after the engine had been switched on and off for a few times it would go back off.
