Yes, it is a clue. Here is how to check it (from Ari's no start checklist).
Check the CHECK ENGINE light.
Ignition ON.
Check the fuel level
Does the CHECK ENGINE light illuminate and stay ON?
YES – Control module is activated
NO – check the +15 supply to the control module
NO – the CHECK ENGINE light shines weakly or flickers. Check the +30 supply or ground connection. May also hear a buzzing sound from main and fuel pump relays, and tach needle moves.
Note this is done with the ignition in the ON position (not while cranking). The +15 supply is fuse 13. The +30 supply is fuse 23. The ECU's ground connection is inside the aquarium on the driver's side. The ground strap looks like a braided wire IIRC.
The problem really sounds fuel related, but it takes only a few minutes to investigate this CEL clue.
