Is it a computer problem or something else if you know the fuel pump works but it there is no fuel going into the engine and it will not fire but the motor will turn?

Just because you hear the fuel pump running does not mean it is pumping. You could also have a clogged fuel filter. Have the fuel pressure checked. In some cars like a '90 Lemans the fuel pump is connected to another metal tube on the fuel pump mount, by a small rubber tube about 1" long. Over time the rubber breaks down. The fuel pump will work, but little or no fuel will go to the engine. Pull pump assembly and replace the tube for a couple of pennies.

The shaking wheel part suggest that there might be an engine misfire, the engine light on suggests that the computer is trying to tell you what's wrong. Connect the engine to a diagnostic computer to see what's going on. The computer can often give you hints to the real problem.

How do you turn off the check engine light in a 2005 ford explorer?
You turn off the check engine light on any vehicle by finding out why it is on and fixing the problem. That light is on because one of the electrical leads going to the engine's computer is saying, "We have a problem." You can hook up the car to a computer and find out what the problem is. You can attach a light down below the dash and count the number of times it blinks and check a chart to get the number and then compare the number to a chart and find the problem. Or, you can cut the wire behind the dash.

If the check engine light of a 2001 Golf comes on but the car runs without any obvious problems could it still mean that something serious is going on?
If the check engine light has come on and stays on it can be a minor or major problem. The light is on because the computer has detected a problem with the emissions system. Something is not right although the car may appear to be running fine. You mileage may be adversaly effected, and you may end up destroying the catalatic converter. My advise would be to have it checked to see exactly what the poblem is. Ignoring the light may prove to be a bad decision.
What does the orange engine symbol mean on the dashboard but goes off when the car has started?

The light would only be lit when the engine isexperiencing a problem, need tohave a scanner hooked up to read the codes to see what is going wrong.
