The time to worry is when the light is permanently on as this indicates an ecu fault has been registered.
The light will com eand go especially after hard driving or stuck in traffic as it seems to pop on/off to indicate the advance/retard of ign timing due to the knock sensore which I suspect yours will have due to the age,one of th elkater models.

Ok thanks but this one seems to come on when i start it, the difference is if it comes on it stays on till i turn it off, and if it isnt there when i start it it wont come on at all

You could just let your local garage check if there's some error saved.
Maybe just some faulty wiring...
