I take it the light next to the ABS is the engine management light.  It could be a number of things that are at fault.  Any other symptoms like rev limiter?  Without getting the codes read or more info it would be extremely difficult to differentiate between those two sensors.  I take it you can't do the paperclip test on that engine?

You need to get the codes read........

At a wild guess its missing.......and the ECU has detected this.......

You could check the plug wells for oil/water

Until you get the codes read everything that is suggested will simply be speculation.  We could tell you to check this and replace that but until we know the codes everything mentioned is here say.  You'll save yourself a lot of time and effort if you get the codes read.
