If you turn the key to the On position (not start) what does the Check Engine light do? It should always turn on for a few seconds as a diagnostic thing (to show that the light is working).
If it stays on for more than 20-30 seconds, or if it flashes, that indicates that there are stored diagnostic codes that could help with an answer here. Specific information about what the CEL is supposed to do when you turn the key to ON can be found in the owners' manual.
