Check the PGM-FI main relay. It is known to fail intermittently along with the distributor

Does the Check Engine Light goes off after 2 seconds when ignition switch is turned ON?

This sounds like a fuel pump has gone out. When you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds?
