A diagnostic check would be your best bet, your O2 sensor might
need changing, how does the car drive with light on, any different
than normal.

Again, it depends on the problem...sounds like a misfire, but couldnt tell unless plugged into diagnostics machine. Coil packs are a typical failure on the 16V Zetec engine, (petrol). is it petrol or diesel?
