    Does the Check Engine Light come on for 2 seconds and go off normally, when the ignition switch is turned to ON? During this 2 second interval, do you hear the fuel pump run and the main relay click?

    Since the CEL does not stay on when you turn the ignition switch to ON, I would focus on the distributor. Specifically, I would replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil:

    I recommend replacing these problematic components every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.

    Since the CEL has not come on, there are no codes stored in the ECM.
