Answer
Your vehicle does not have a check.  It has electronic fuel injection.  Do you have a rectangular diagnostic connector in the lower dash, under the steering wheel?  You should.

If so, you can plug in a scan tool and read the sensor data from the engine when it's cold to figure out what's wrong.
