On most vehicles, "Check Engine" won't be activated if it's a fuel problem. The manufacturers don't want to "store a code" if the vehicle just ran out of fuel. If it's cranking but not catching, try a little starting fluid directly into the intake while someone attempts to start the engine. If it catches, you probably have a fuel delivery problem, either fuel pump, pump relay, filter, pickup screen, fuse or possibly even something else.
