Bulb is blown or has been removed.
Do you mean the check engine light does not come on when you turn the ignition on? Possibly the bulb is burnt out.

does the light illuminate during start up? If not the lamp is burned out. If it does, then the engine computer is likely at fault.
no but if you dont check your blinker fluid your car wont start! TRUE STORY!!!!!!!!
The computer doesn't allow to start the engine. Check the error code.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
The light should come on when you turn on the ignition without starting the engine. If it does not, then more likely than not, the bulb has burned out or been removed. If you just bought the vehicle, know that removing the bulb to hide an emissions problem is illegal.
Have it checked for codes.
What did the check engine light codes say was bad?
Does the check engine light come on? If so you need to pull the code(s) out to see why. If there is no check engine light go back to basics and give engine a basic tune up including fuel and air filters, spark plugs, ignition wires distributor cap and rotor.
This car is 23 years old and it may very well be the check engine light bulb is blown and needs replacing.
