Default Fiat Punto

Dunno if anyone can help, Got a punto 1.2 2000 W reg.
the warning light that looks like an engine is constantly on.....what do i need to do to fix it? could it be a blocked fuel filter.

It says in the punto handbook:
When there is a fault in the injection system. The warning light should come on when the ignition key is turned to MAR and go out after a few seconds.
The warning light will stay on or come on when travelling to indicate imperfect operation of the injection system with possible loss of performance, poor handling and higher fuel consumption.

Any ideas?
