Well first check its not just the bulb gone out. Pull the cluster using a coathanger shaped like an L and switch the bulb with a known working one first before replacing. (I'd recommend replacing them ALL anyway since its out..)
There is a DIY article on this site under resources @ the top.

chance, I would suspect one of the three coils is bad ... probably the rear one (closest to the firewall).

As far as the check engine lamp goes..
IN 1993 there were 2 different versions of emission controls on that car. 1993 federal car has NO check engine lamp 1993 California version does & has push-button & LED blink lamp on 16 pin connector.

THANKS everyone for the imput thus far. I have Not had the opportunity to pull the instrument cluster yet (car is my daily driver) to check bulbs....But I am positive my car is a Calif. version so I DO have a "check engine" light AND 16 pin diagnostic coder. So i'm still lagging in the streets........ Chance

Lagging in the streets??? I'm not entirely sure, but I believe this is actually against the law in 9 southern states, even between consenting adults.
