After about one month of not driving my car I started it up with no problem. After driviing about 20 miles I noticed the engine check light was on. The next morning the light came on as soon as the key turned to the acc position. The car had not even started Any ideas.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine manangement system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.
